They are pulling free support online by the looks of it , they will continue security updates upto 2020 for windows 7. I wouldnt mind I have disabled all windows 7 updates for the last 2-3 years and havent had one issue at all.

extended support will last til 2020 im good with that i dont care bout the design changes and shit like that as long as they keep supporting with patches and stuff like that im not too worried.....but its just another ploy to get ppl to buy that crappy win 8 system...im hoping microsoft keeps its trend with getting really good OS every other one released....i.e

 

XP good ...vista crap ...win 7 awesome....win 8 crap...win 9 great...

 

but we will have to truly wait and see tho...quality control on business products arent wat they use to be imo..

By the way, Microsoft also set an end-of-life of mainstream support for Windows 8 (including the latest version, Windows 8.1), for January 9, 2018.

This is another hint that Microsoft should have its next version of Windows ready in 2015, code-named "Threshold" (sometimes referred to as Windows 9).

If Microsoft plays its cards right, Windows 9 will be to the unloved Windows 8 what Windows 7 was to Vista, which InfoWorld ranked No. 2 on its list of the 25 biggest tech flops (also PCWorld's "Biggest Tech Disappointment" of 2007.)

No Dos 6.0 so we can screw our hard drives up with compression.

HEY.. i liked dblspace..

 

heh

 

MS has a history of selling SHIT OS's, having the people who bought them deal with the bugs, bitch about the issues, and find the fixes for them, then repackaging the same OS with the fixes applied, and then reselling them back to the same users over and over, and i see no reason why they would stop now.. after all.. this business model is what has MS 

CEO Bill Gates worth a ridiculous 72.4 Billion. yes, Billion with a B.

 

win95 - SHIT

win95a - win95 fixed

win95b - SHIT

win95c - win95b fixed

win98 - SHIT

win98se win98 fixed

winME - SHIT

winXP - winME fixed

winVista - SHIT

win7 - winVista fixed

win8 - SHIT

win9 - win8 fixed(hopefully)

 

just for grins:

 

10 ridiculous facts about Bill Gates:

 

The world's richest man, Bill Gates, can do a heck of a whole lot with his $72 billion worth. 

1. The Richest Man In the World

Gates was in No. 1 position on the Forbes list from 1995 to 2007 and again in 2009. On May 16 Bloomberg announced that Bill Gates was back on top with an estimated net worth of $72.7 billion.

2. He is One Of the Richest Countries In the World, Too

If Bill Gates were a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth.

3. He Knew He'd Be Filthy Rich

In school he bragged to his teachers that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 30; he was a billionaire by 31.

4. It's Literally Not Worth His Time to Pick Up a Dropped $100 Bill From the Ground

With a worth of $72 billion, a 6% rate of return would earn Gates roughly $114.16 per second he is alive, making it a poor investment for Bill Gates to bother picking up a $100 bill if he dropped it. 

5. He's a Big Spender

Bill Gates has donated more than $26 billion dollars to philanthropic causes through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. That includes $10 billion for vaccine research over the next ten years.

6. His First Big Sale

Bill Gates’ first computer program sale was at 17 for $4,200. He sold a time-tabling system to his high school. Not too bad for a start.

7. What It Would Take For Him to Lose Everything

Bill Gates is 57 this year. If we assume that he will live for another 33 years, he has to spend $6 million per day to use up all of his wealth.

8. He Can Give Everyone On Earth $10 and Still Be Loaded

If he gave everyone on Earth $10 this Christmas, he’d still have $2.26 billion left. 

9. His Kids Aren't Loaded

Gates is only going to give a minuscule amount to his kids. “I don’t think that amount of money would be good for them. They have to find their own way. They will be given an unbelievable education and that will all be paid for. And certainly anything related to health issues we will take care of. But in terms of their income, they will have to pick a job they like and go to work,” Gates said.

10. Frozen Assets

If Microsoft Windows’ users could claim $1 for every time their Microsoft Windows freezes, Bill Gates would be bankrupt in about three days!
