Microsoft Warns Windows 7 Has Serious Problems

A good read but thought we were going to learn something new

Forbes, of course, misunderstood what it was hearing (deliberately, to grab the page hits from the inflammatory title--never read financial ezines to learn about computers...) What Microsoft is saying is that from now on 100% of its R&D efforts are going into Win10--and *nothing* is going into Win7/8 except security patching--and that only for a short time until EoL. Intelligent people would stop and think about why Microsoft is giving away Win10 as an upgrade from Win7/8. Microsoft is also improving security with Win10 by methods and in ways that simply won't work with Win7--even should Microsoft decide to try it--which of course won't happen. Everything is going into the Win10 platform.

No "scare tactics" involved. It's a simple fact that the best of everything Microsoft has to offer is going into Win10--not into Win7. IMO, only dummies are clinging to Win7 at this point (and businesses, which is quite understandable.) But consumers on Win7 & 8 who obstinately refuse to go to Win10 even at no expense are simply being stupid, imo (unless they are saddled with a laptop their OEM refuses to support under WIn10 because he wants to sell you another laptop with Win10 already installed.) Win7's days are numbered; Win10's are not. That's the message they are trying to convey--but sometimes consumers are a bit dense, you know--else Microsoft would never have to bring it up in the first place.

At last some one has hit the nail on the head
Or say the saying goes
Well done

Forbes never let facts get in the way of a good "article" concerning Win10. But one thing you can say.. they be consistent.
