Ping for the Windows ping list. . .
My remaining Windoze-boxen are running XP. Doesn’t seem to be a problem, limited usage they get.
A general OS upgrade for large corporate users is ... traumatic. There are thousands upon thousands of apps to be tested upgraded and modded.
they are trying to scare the computer savvy users who refuse to upgrade to windows 10 with this crap? Been using windows 7 for a number of years now- no issues-
Next MS will refuse to update windows 7
They are getting very aggressive with windows 10- and now they are trying to scare windows 7 users into windows 10- I wonder why- Computer Savvy peeps do NOT want windows 10 SPYWARE anywhere near their computers! But it appears MS is going to do everything possible to force us into it- even going so far as to install updates into windows 7 that nag us to get it AND spy on us
that'll take care of everything.
Obviously the weirdos are DESPERATE for everyone to have their crappy Windows 10. Well, they can hold their collective breaths and turn blue !
Microsoft new strongarm sales tactic - our old o/s’s suck and we are downloading more problems onto them so you have to switch to our new o/s.
What a twisted freak of a company it has become.
Yup. 7 cant spy on you like 10 can.
I am certain they are under fedgov pressure to do this.
When Bill Gates sends me a check to buy all new manufacturing hardware in my shop I will think about it. Win 7 is just fine.
Having not clicked the link the story is dripping with satire
Gosh, I guess this means I better run get 10./
All I really liked about Windows is that it didn’t change. I could keep using it as it upgraded without learning a whole new way of using it. This tiles crap and other changes removed all I knew about how to run it.
Essentially, if I’m going to take the time and effort to learn a whole new system, it’s probably time to make the jump to apple.
Scare tactics for the naive. Commercially licensed XP (for financial and medical systems) is supported out to 2020, which means there will be peripheral support (printers, scanners, video cards, etc) for these systems for several more years at least. Same thing goes for Win7.
I've been responsible for that on a very large scale. Traumatic is right.
windows 7 came out in oct 2009. 6 years ago... not 10.
XP seems just fine. What’s this Windows 7 they are talking about.
Yet a Microsoftian said it. . . hmmmmm. Shows he doesn't know much about his product line, or is he just stupid?
Apparently OFFICIAL FUD. . .
Technically, Win7 is Win6SE - Windows 6 is vista and seven... And yeah, it's been about 10 years.
Isn't it always?
