millions of window$ 10 users are begging micro$oft to provide security updates
as micro$oft is ending windows 10, many windowzers can't meet hardware requirements for windows 11. They would need to spend money in new computers and window$

eu windows users are getting 1 year security update, for free. Americans will have to pay for it. Users are celebrating micro$soft was kind to providing an extended security update support for one more year, now they have time to get the money to move to the newest spyware, w11.

the state of windows users
feel sorry for them, we tried to warn them about m$ but they never listened

maybe now a few of them will try the superior operating system linux, come here bb we forgive you, you'll enjoy freedom

Linux made by bill gates who made microsoft.

Fanta or cola?

Apple be gone if not bill gates. You think you have a choice. But the choices been made for you.
That happened to me with Win 7. However, when it comes to Steam last i checked on the old computer is that it still works with the games i own.

I bought this new PC being the old one gave out, and had to buy a new one. But with Win 10, like Win 7 that is going to go on for years.
After 12 years of trying to (back when I first forced them on the family PC) I will finally soon get my sibling to switch over. They've already got GNU/Linux on one of their systems, and we're working out getting it on the other.

Cause windows 7 has backward support who is no longer in windows 11 and windows 7 has software supporting the last directx version who will ever be created.

I'm sure M$ is the company that will be moved by millions of users wanting something...

OTOH it might move some legislators who then could force the issue.

OTTH those patches are hardly interesting and whoever relies on those only will be infected anway.

The real issue will be not the patches but the programs. M$ programs like teams and office already stopped to work on older W10 versions and pretty soon may start refusing the latest version too. For no good technical reason, just to ♥♥♥♥ on customers. And other programs may follow.

its due to legal reasons europe have regulations on such stuff while us dont but here is the thing windows has been spying on you since xp jsut by 10 laws basicly demanded them to tell you about it
Windows 10 is very much not windows 7

Windows 10 is windows 8 and windows 7 was created based on windows vista.

It can't be compared since windows 7 is an owned license while you don't own windows 10

You may think that oh but i don't own it.

Yes they did own the software. The companies bought as example unreal engine 3 software with legal ownership.

so they are getting rid of all windows systems?
"millions"
Enterprise lts exists, but other software will drop support making it pointless.

I mean if you want you can eek out 2 more years on the cheaper lts, the 2031 vresion is a bit excessive, imagine running on a system that old in 2031.

An N150 mini PC is a little over a $100 and has windows 11, some people are just being stubborn, yet not stubborn enough to jump to linux, which is funny.

Also the steam deck 256GB is $319 as we speak.

Its usually a lot of big talk until they experience it and suffer, they are stuck on windows 10 for a reason.
