Windows 7 has a huge problem, according to Microsoft and users may not realize this
Despite the fact that Windows 10 is alive, kicking, and running as smooth as butter, Windows 7 still runs on 55 percent of all the machines out there, and that is not necessarily a bad, if not for one little issue. According to Microsoft’s Marketing Chief Chris Capossela there is a huge problem with Windows 7. He explains the following concerning the security of the operating system:
“We do worry when people are running an operating system that’s 10 years old that the next printer they buy isn’t going to work well, or they buy a new game, they buy Fallout 4, a very popular game, and it doesn’t work on a bunch of older machines. And so, as we are pushing our ISV [Independent Software Vendor] and hardware partners to build great new stuff that takes advantage of Windows 10 that obviously makes the old stuff really bad and not to mention viruses and security problems.”
We are touched that the executive is concerned about the security and safety of our operating systems. However, he has forgotten about one small detail; Windows 7 will continue to receive critical system and security updates till 2020, meaning that the security of this operating system and Windows 10 will remain the same till 2020. However, we should also add that with every passing year, Windows 7 is going to start becoming less and less relevant with every passing month, which was expected, seeing as how Windows 10 is going to be the last operating system released by the company, at least according to Microsoft.
With Windows 10, more and more security and system updates will continue to pour through, which will eventually make Windows 7 completely obsolete. Lots of users will continue to use the previous versions of the company’s platform, along with Vista and Windows 8, which is completely alright, but with every new year coming through, it looks like they will be more compelled to upgrade to Windows 10.
Utter rubbish by Microsoft, with Windows 10, you give up every right you have to everything you do type and say or video on that computer… everything… they want you to have it free so they can control everything with Artificial Intelligence (AI), and yes, they have been using it for a while now, and vile Google. Recommendation: do NOT move from Windows 7. It is now getting to the point where desktop computers will be useless…
Personally I did love windows 7, 95, XP, Learned on windows 3.1 and dos 6.
My older amd machine I now run Linux Mint on, ubuntu based, and I love it, but for games it useless, so I gave windows 10 a try on my games machine.
Overall I like it, I just press start key and type what I want like settings and click option, totally bypasses lookin through the tiles.
But having come from mainly desktop machines it did look really weird at first, and yes there are a couple of nagging little problems with it for me personally, but then again, every OS by Microsoft has had nagging little problems so no biggie.
And for those moaning about privacy concerns, come on, always use the custom button, never express or recommended, if you have ever installed any exe file from the net you should know that by now, never ever ever trust any app/software/game to setup anything for you, check check check check and check again before doing anything.
