… isn’t it effective January 31st then?

It sounds to me like if you start now you have to pay if large enough of a company but if you are already a "customer" you have till january.

Sorry it is a bit confusing, the overall terms and conditions update is as of now, but the part about paying has a grace period but obviously we want people to know now what will apply. The terms are not very different from previous terms (although I did get the old no benchmarking clause removed, I don't know why we had that there).

Your company is probably not going to fare well in this thread, but thanks for this! No benchmarking clauses are gross. Glad to see someone with the means to remove one do so.

I would guess it's to do with the abysmal performance before WSL2.

Or their removal of Docker

Curious how bound I'd be to these terms if I just don't upgrade Docker Desktop. I'm not even signed in to dockerhub and most of our containers are on an Azure private registry.
