Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Doomsday arrives for Windows 7 tech support, leaving users to fend for themselves PC users still running 2009’s Windows 7 operating system are despairing online and paying their respects as Microsoft finally ends its technical support for the software. The 10-year-old operating system is still one of the most popular in use, making up an estimated 33 percent of the global share, second only to Windows 10. Roughly a quarter of all Windows users are still using the out-of-date OS according to StatCounter. As of Tuesday, though, there will be no more updates or patches to shore up defenses against ever-evolving cyber-attacks on Windows 7 users. [ link to www.rt.com (secure)] Windows 7 was an awesome opsys. |

Turned OFF Updates on DAY 1.
Have my own malware and antivirus protection and need Microsoft's like a hole in the head.
Learned DECADES ago that they BREAK more than they FIX.
Will use Windows 7 for as long as I can. When it is crippled, as XP was, I will go back to Linux. |

It takes up 60% of your processes, and 6 gigs of RAM- while idle. Plus: no networking, no attacks.
