> Windows 7 received its final update back in 2011

That's only off only by some... 9 years.

> 8.1 hasn't even been directly supported by Microsoft itself in quite some time

Yeah, Microsoft stopped supporting it uh... 2 months ago, been a while I suppose.

Maybe Logan Moore should do a cursory search before posting articles.

Also, I just updated Windows 7 again last night. It's still receiving some updates. For most people, the bigger issue is third party support falling off fast now.

It hasn't had security updates for the past 3 years, it has more holes than emmental and definitely shouldn't be connected to the internet.

I'm sure it'll be fine, it's using a public IP which I understand is much safer than a private IP.

Hard to tell when people on /r/technology are trolling.

I think of this whenever people say things like "I'm never going to upgrade my Windows to version Y, version X is my favorite and I'm keeping it forever!"

No. No you're not.

If you’re using windows 7-8 it’s time to move on anyways .

There is already so much stupid people in the tech sector we do not need people purposfully being stupid too lol

But I like Emmentaler!

Windows 11 is so bad that why not just ditch them. The next iteration of windows will probably need the internet to even run.

Jokes on you I'm posting from windows xp

Article hardly needed to be written in the first place. According to the Steam Hardware Survey (which runs on a sort of delay from how rarely they get sent out, so the number is likely even lower) this makes up 1.79% of Steam users.

This will not affect the vast, vast, vast majority of gamers.

i can imagine the next version of windows being put on a chip and installed on logoc boards. Then it connects to the cloud where you access your virtual desktop.

Windows 11 is great
