Yes i agree there will be risks in the future when extended support dies, even if i'm willing to take them. I understand most users and people who use the OS now and those that have dropped it will not be interested in taking the risks and face the consequences involved if things go bad, and they are right about that because they may have very sensitive personal data and networks that cannot be put at risk to play a security guerrilla warfare to stay online on 7...moonbat wrote: ↑2022-01-10, 06:07Wish this applied to 7Eduardo Lucas wrote: ↑2022-01-10, 05:13there IS a case of windows 7 being what they wished XP would be and be future-proof indefininitely
Unfortunately 7 will go the way of XP once Microsoft ends their extended paid support (if they haven't already). Metro UI is an unforgivable abomination, Vista wasn't as bad by contrast. 7 is what Vista should've been without the bugs. And now 10 is actively hostile to the user by resetting default apps and updates that can bork your installation.
It was released in 2001. It was the first unified Windows after they got rid of the 9x/Me codebase and built exclusively on the NT kernel, like 2000 before it.
Yes i know. But i feel Windows XP still is too dependent on earlier architectural, technological view/resources inside the system and codebase from earlier NT versions. I have the opinion that things changed so heavily from 2001 to 2009 and the release of Seven. Windows XP lacks too much...
