Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers

  You have provided no substantive evidence of what I can’t do with Windows 7. You have provided nothing but vague fear-mongering while inflating your chest about what a biker bad-ass you are.

  Yet you refuse to see that other people also make trade-offs. My tradeoff is that sometimes I can’t install piece of shit software like KiCAD that somehow requires Windows 11 to move lines on a screen.

  No big loss.

    I have never said that you can do things with windows 7 I said it was not secure. My analogy was more intended for showing trade off that can be made for security. Apologies if it came out another way

      But you also failed to provide any concrete examples of what is supposed to happen to my Windows 7 machine connected to the internet.

      What security threat, exactly? If you can show me that, I’ll buy a new PC with Win 11 this afternoon.
