Down vote away, I don't care, but they really aren't though.

Pretty big difference between buying a thing that stops working if you don't have an active subscription, and using an old LTS and being given the choice of paying for extended support or the free upgrade to the new LTS

Pretty big difference between buying a thing that stops working if you don't have an active subscription, and using an old LTS and being given the choice of paying for extended support if you’re a corporation, signing up for a free “subscription” if you’re not, or the free upgrade to the new LTS

FTFY, it’s an even bigger difference when the extended support is free for end users.
