Lengthen the life of Windows 7 using the legal system
Can a class-action suit be filed to US Court to force Micro$oft to extend its support for Windows 7? I do NOT think Windows 10 is ready for the prime time, it's update is absolutely as horrifying as a data doomsday. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

I was perfectly happy running Windows 7, then Microsoft started deliberately destroying its operating system. I have never understood why a company would do this. |

wrote: "New! Improved!" is easy to do with cars, for example. You just change the styling and add a few gimcracks. Impossible with an OS without a radical redesign, from the ground up. not only very possible, but it happens all the time, and with much more than just styling changes. each major version of windows, android, macos and ios are all 'new improved' over the previous versions, sometimes in very significant ways. That's what made OS/2 and Windows NT superior to DOS/Windows. Win7 (and Win8 without the Metro GUI) is a relatively mature version of NT. Pretty good, despite its security flaws. W10 is a styling change with a few gimcracks added. win10 is a bit more than just a styling change. there are new features and new apis. some apps will not work in older versions (although right now, very few require win10). MS has never had a good sense of style, and its gimcracks apparently result from late night pizza-fuelled BS sessions. that part is true. microsoft's design language is pretty bad. But those flaws can IMO at best be only patched over. It's possible to build a more secure OS (see Unix, Linux, OS-X) but even those are limited by the fundamental insecurities of the CPU chips, whose makers have focussed on speed and power, not security. AFAICT as an observer, it's possible to build fundamentally more secure CPU chips. Given those, a fundamentally secure OS could be built. that makes no sense. But not a foolproof one: users will always be the prime security flaw. that part is true. people are easily phished. |

Some had a problem with Build 1809 when it was originally released (I didn't), but that has now been fixed. 10 even runs on older systems. I have a laptop that came with Vista (ugh!) installed. It was later upgraded to 7 and then to 10. The laptop isn't UEFI capable, but 10 still runs well on it. Larc |
