Microsoft Warns Windows 7 Has Serious Problems

RTO · 01-02-2016, 11:42 PM

Windows 7 runs on 55% of all the computers on the planet, but according to news this week that is actually a bad and potentially dangerous thing. Says who? Actually Microsoft MSFT -1.82%…

Speaking to Windows Weekly, Microsoft Marketing chief Chris Capossela explained that users who choose Windows 7 do so “at your own risk, at your own peril” and he revealed Microsoft has concerns about its future software and hardware compatibility, security and more.

“We do worry when people are running an operating system that’s 10 years old that the next printer they buy isn’t going to work well, or they buy a new game, they buy Fallout 4, a very popular game, and it doesn’t work on a bunch of older machines,” Capossela stated. “And so, as we are pushing our ISV [Independent Software Vendor] and hardware partners to build great new stuff that takes advantage of Windows 10 that obviously makes the old stuff really bad and not to mention viruses and security problems.”

Better hurry up and migrate to 10, huh?

I would not be surprised if Microslop added bugs to Windows 7 updates just to help push people towards 10. The government must really want people's computers using Windows 10.

Too damned bad, guess I'll keep my XP running until it dies.

I'm running winders 7 on this PC, but I still have XP on the old one which isn't hooked up to the internet.

Both working just fine - until Microsoft decides to sabotage this one.

With every software and security update, my computer runs slower and has more issues. I'm running windows VII.

I'm a packrat. I still have my old windows 98 and XP towers. A few months ago I had a guy strip parts from my 2010 windows 7 model and build me a new one with new parts from MICROCENTER. I'm hoping I can get a few more years from it. It has a 3ghz AMD processor.

Windows 7 is the best OS that Microsoft has created.

No deal.

Hell the Bowie knife. You can't improve on these things leave my Windows 7 alone.
