  • Microsoft is putting Windows 7 and 8.x users in danger

    We all know that Microsoft's focus is on Windows 10. The software giant wants users to upgrade to its new operating system, and has regularly spoken about how that OS keeps users safe.

    However, according to Google Project Zero researcher Mateusz Jurczyk, by focusing on patching Windows 10, and not applying the same fixes to Windows 7 and 8.x, Microsoft is actually putting users of those two older operating systems at risk.

    Typical corporate strategy--try to force people to upgrade by both making the older OS obsolete...as well as "punishing" them for refusing to upgrade to the latest OS. It'd be like punishing owners of older cars for not buying the latest 2017 and 2018 models, by forcing you to list what car you currently have on your license, and be subject to police pull-overs if you don't own a car from the latest model year.
    Tempus fugit, ergo, carpe diem.

    Time flies, therefore, seize the day.
