Windows 7 Extended Security Updates, who to contact?

True, Microsoft has stated that customers should reach out to their partners for further details on this, but this statement is premature.
As of the February 2019 price list, Microsoft has not released SKUs for Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU) to the channel.
Windows 7 Extended Support will not be ending till next January.
My guess on this is that will hear more about this as we get closer to this deadline.

Stay tuned for furthering coverage on this story.
