So Microdick Wangblows 7 Professional/Enterprise will get paid extended support until 2023. I'll be holding onto my Win7 Pro install at least until then to see what's up. My machine should last until then, 4th gen i7 OC at 4.8GHz, 16GB DDR3 2400MHz 11CL with a nvme 4x C drive.
Who else holding out on Jow Forums?

>So Microdick Wangblows 7 Professional/Enterprise will get paid extended support until 2023
Only if you pay. XP still has support like that too, and nobody has leaked the proper patches for that.
>nobody has leaked the proper patches for XP
they moved to 7 instead. Can a leaked patch be called "proper" in the first place?
Windows XP holdouts added POS Ready 2009 update trick because those updates are public.
Too bad even POS2009 itself is broken
The POSReady updates are the same as the paid ones.
I was using 7 a couple of weeks ago and decided to try 10 (upgrade is free and you can revert back for 10 days) and it seems alright to me, so I've just stayed on it.
I don't see what the big deal is.
>cuck thread
No, this is a thread for Windows 7, not your shitty fetish.
Citation needed.
>upgrade is free
not anymore
Well user, I literally did it a few weeks ago and it worked fine.
You use the media creation tool and it does it for free without asking for a key or whatever.
Did you upgrade when it was still free?
Is it actually showing as activated in the system settings?
If a similar trick works for W7, Windows Embedded POSReady 7 is supported until end of 2021, that's about it. Not much when compared to 5 years that xp got.
Imagine being this desperate not to have to learn anything ever.
Why do you care about the "extended support"? Why does it matter? Just keep using the OS as usual.
No you chucklefuck, I just told you I did it a few weeks ago.
There are countless videos on YouTube showing you how to do it. Microsoft just don't publicize it.

>who cares about security?
Then upgrade to Win8.1 for two more years of support
>XP still has support like that too, and nobody has leaked the proper patches for that.
Literally modify a register key. You can also install POS 2009
The registry key is for the POS2009 patches, not the secrit XP ones. It also doesn't work any more.
>Too bad even POS2009 itself is broken

>windows xp? windows 98 is all i need
>windows 7? windows xp is all i need
>windows 10? windows 7 is all i need
I need that image
That's not how this meme works.
Explorer crashed after boot ad doesn't load autostart entries randomly
Yes, I've tried different computers and VMs and they all showed this behavior after installing the recent updates
Also windows update breaks after you update it once and goes into an endless loop of searching for updates
You don't have the image so shut the fuck up bitch
>It also doesn't work any more.
Yes it does.
It on my Pentium 4 shitbox. About Windows Update, you have to install the latest version of Internet Explorer for XP, 9 I think.
suck my dick, newfag.
Literally why are some people still using XP?
Why are you guys so fucking hung up on this shit?
Use your perferred os until you actually need to update for something. the updates are 99% bullshit anyway.
Vista was a mistake
So use 7. Literally no excuse for running XP as your main OS.
Fuck off discordshitter
You don't understand. Vista changed Windows forever.
No it didn't.
Stop being a faggot.
Yes it did
How?
Also, post desktop or you're LARPing.
>discordshitter
Now that's new. go back.
Look it up the differences between NT 5.x and 6.x, faggot. Vista and up are noticeably slower than XP on the same hardware.
Vista was a major departure from XP both aesthetically and technically, as evidenced by the fact that many legacy programs and drivers were unsupported and the os in general was broken at launch.
T. I ran Vista when it was new until 7 came out
t. discord
How shitty is your hardware that it makes a noticeable difference?
>About Windows Update, you have to install the latest version of Internet Explorer for XP, 9 I think.
It's 8, but it didn't help any.
>Vista and up are noticeably slower than XP on the same hardware.
Only on pentium 4, on newer systems the reverse is true
Completely false. Pentium 4s are shit no matter what and XP is bliss on multi-core systems.
>XP is bliss on multi-core systems.
said no one ever
>XP is bliss on multi-core systems
My machine at work is running 10, but everything about the os is fractured because of the "unified system" meme. Almost all the old DEAKTOP features/tools are there but hidden behind the TABLET interface tools and features. The UI is fundamentally broken and Explorer is more infuriating to use than ever. Why do two icons appear in my panel when I insert ONE usb drive? Why are there favorites and quick access and one drive BEFORE the system folder? How come Classic View and Classic Theme aren't available like in 7? Why are ALL updates MANDATORY?
the only thing bliss about windows xp on newer hardware is the fucking wallpaper
Well why wouldn't it be?
>Almost all the old DEAKTOP features/tools are there but hidden behind the TABLET interface tools and features.
Like what?
>Explorer is more infuriating to use than ever.
Huh? They removed libraries by default and have a OneDrive thing in the side but I don't see any other big changes.
>Why do two icons appear in my panel when I insert ONE usb drive?
Unable to reproduce.
>Why are there favorites and quick access and one drive BEFORE the system folder?
Could disable it.
>Why are ALL updates MANDATORY?
Because retards don't update shit and then complain about muh wangblows security.
It doesn't take a fucking genius to work out that newer hardware is not going to work as well on an OS that hasn't received updates for years.
For the same reason Windows 98 is shit on anything newer than a Pentium III, hardware support and software optimization.
Windows XP works perfectly on Core 2 Duo / Quad and early Core i series hardware. Vista being so unpopular with almost every type of computer user is the reason why XP's driver support lasted so long.
Windows 98 is shit on anything newer than a Pentium III because Windows 98 is shit in general, and only remembered fondly because of muh DOS games and muh '90s PC nostalgia.
That doesn't change my point, a Core 2 Duo is not "newer hardware".
>Windows XP works perfectly on Core 2 Duo / Quad
At pretty much the same speed as it does on a pentium 4
Yes it does actually because you were talking about the Pentium 4. If that's not what you meant you should have specified. If XP x64 had drivers for machines from the last 6 years it probably run fantastic on those as well.
You've obviously never used it on a Core 2 Duo. The difference in responsiveness is enormous.
You don't know shit you are talking about. NT 5.x scheduler is years behind anything modern, it's shit for anything above dual cores. You can try by yourself, install XP and 7 on the same Core2Quad setup and try to render something with the same software, maybe try playing some games.
>Because retards don't update shit and then complain about muh wangblows security.
Retard, that's not the reason. The reason is that it's a botnet and they need a way to push it onto users who don't want things to change
Yes, obviously I never did. Obviously. Enjoy your slowass single threaded explorer and garbage speeds. Did i mention that the whole system doesn't do anything while it's playing the shutdown tone?
>who cares about security?
Clearly not people who use Windows.
Rendering your anime porn and fucking around in first person shooters have nothing to do with how well XP boots and runs its own software on a modern system.
Of course it is, Vista is way more complex. That's like saying Windows 95 is better than XP because it runs better on the same hardware. The whole Vista issue happened because it was a buggy piece of shit (addressed with Windows 7), manufactures were shipping it with shit hardware (integrated graphics couldn't handle desktop composition well) and hardware manufactures were making shit drivers that barely worked, which forced Microsoft to invest hard in WHQL.
>Yes, obviously I never did. Obviously.
Well I'm glad we cleared that up.
>Did i mention that the whole system doesn't do anything while it's playing the shutdown tone?
Just because it says it's doing that doesn't mean it only doing that.
>The reason is that it's a botnet and they need a way to push it onto users who don't want things to change
What? Why do they provide ways to defer updates and disable automatic updates then?
>Just because it says it's doing that doesn't mean it only doing that.
Judging by the HDD indicator, it isn't doing anything else.
Thanks for proving my point.
>muh support
what support? Are you genuinely telling me after a literal decade that there are still exploits to be found?
where on the clearweb will these exploits be found anyway?
Because some normalfags complained that some updates broke their systems, so MS """generously""" let them uninstall those updates
Fair point, but the difference with XP is that it was more than capable of running on systems from 5, 6, 7 years after its initial release. Windows 95 on anything newer than a Pentium III would be unnecessary.
reddit pls
I don't understand, there's absolutely no reason not to upgrade to Windows 10. Fantastic OS
That doesn't address the point.
You're too much of a geek to understand the point
The main reason I am happy about this is this means browser developers will extend their support for 7. Let's face it, they are the ones that control what OS we use, when they end security support that is when you are fucked.
Using POSReady 2009 since 2011. Only problem is you have to install the monthly IE8 update manually before using WU else you get the takes-forever-to-search-for-updates bug (which has been fixed and broken so many times in the past it is funny).
Old Intel based machines with better (200% better) onboard gfx performance than Vista/7 drivers.
>Windows 10. Fantastic OS
AHAHAHAHAH
you know this is due your vodka runes, but yeah 10 is shit
>turns off search features out of paranoia
>surprised when it doesn't work
best place to ask seems to be this thread.
Whats better:
>win10 with all the bullshit tracking removed, and only used to run win7 on vm
VS
>just fuckin windows7
Sounds like you already know the answer
>himmler.jpg
>just fuckin windows10
I do but I need reasons to support why 7 > VM. Logic I'm against is:
>i'll just disable all the tracking and install a win7 virtual on this barren win10
>with a VM, i can take snapshots of sessions in 7 to rollback incase of fuckups
>I won't use w10 for anything but running 7 in vm
I need counterlogic
>>win10 with all the bullshit tracking removed
Nice fanfiction
I held out as long as I could...
>Because retards don't update shit and then complain about muh wangblows security.
>Why do they provide ways to defer updates and disable automatic updates then?
Except they don't allow you to disable updates, only defer updates for 3 months then they're automatically downloaded and installed without you needing to even click "Ok". I wouldn't care so much if this only happens for security updates but this applies to any and all updates ever. Even on win7 I don't install every optional update, I specifically avoided the Microdick Malware GWX updates for example.
12 months for feature, 1 month for security on my machine and disabling automatic updates is literally one gpedit setting.
Why do I feel like Windows 8.1 has less features than 7? It's faster, sure, but it feels like a stripped down version of the previous OS. Can someone list me the features 8.1 has over 7?
Why is the Windows 10 GUI style so cluttered? Literally Luna (Teletubbies Theme) tier. It was very clear what was where with Classic and Aero, but the extension limited settings with windows seen in the style of ancient versions of Android seem like a step down. You can't even customize your interface without hacks.
>not just installing linux
Yeah, this issue also happens on Windows 8. Before you could search the whole system for what you seek, now it just skips everything.
It's pointless because 7 and 8 both have the same telemetry features backported Rinto them.
You can manage system updates on 7.
>Just keep using the OS as usual.
Seconded, desu!
>Literally why are some people still using XP?
Coze it werks, desu.
The Windows 10 UI and menus are like two operating systems worth of settings layed one over the other. Why have a half dozen settings menus with reduced options when there's still a control panel with the old settings and system admin tools? Why do I need to change registry entries to make simple changes to Windows 10? It would take an hour to edit all the entries I need to make the os something I can halfway put up with and still not have the classic windows look they abandoned. Why install 10 if it needs to be hacked to bits and run 3rd party desktops to be usable?
This but unironically, it just werks.
