Microsoft Ends Mainstream Support For Windows 7

Posted by timothy on from the you're-free-to-support-it-on-your-own dept.

jones_supa writes The mainstream support of Microsoft Windows 7 [ended Monday]. The operating system leaving mainstream support means no more platform updates, no new features, and end of free support. Windows 7 will now enter extended support, which means that security updates will keep coming, and support will be offered for charge. The final end of support for Windows 7 will be reached January 14, 2020. Is anyone nostalgic for Windows 7?

    Don't you just hate it when people are excessively positive about Microsoft?
