That's why I'm preparing to migrate to Linux. For example it's forbidden to buy proprietary software for government and budget organizations. If 35-40% users still use Win7, than abandoning it would mean losing 35-40% of customers. Like XP, that has ESR version of Firefox for example. I'm still alive! Only problem - software developers will abandon it at some point. There was a time in the past, when I never updated. And it's always behind NAT, so there is no risk of any attacks from outside. Either you upgrade then, or you're stuck without security updates.I don't think, that this security updates are so important. Well, Win7 will work until the start of next year when they kill support. And you know? Win10 is much slower on the same hardware. And I have many computers with different configurations on my work.

Win7 works just perfectly for me, I like it and don't have any reasons to change it. And the most simple argument - don't fix, what isn't broken. BTW mobile Windows in dead, so I don't see any reason not to revert Win8-10 changes back.

Don't we pay them enough money for licenses? M? And it's also about trying to force mobile Win10 on us via making PC and mobile interfaces similar, no matter, if it makes it ugly as hell.

Someone would notice it, if it would be the case. And there are millions of software security specialists around the world. Even if Win7 does the same - it's violation of law, as I haven't allowed it to do it. I just wonder for how long modern-day techo-amish would hold on to their decrepit trinkets in attempts to stave off the evils of progress.If future is about signing agreement by my own hand, that allows some corporation to collect my private data and sell it to 3rd parties, than yeah, we don't need such future. Glad to see certain less savory places on Earth keep being stuck in past.
