How are you guys holding up? I've been doing just fine. I'm not going to stop using 7 until a majority of the programs I use stop supporting it.
>inb4 end of support boogeyman
Also, anyone have a list of updates to install that highlight all the spyware updates so I can skip those?

If you want to be a stubborn brat then google it yourself. We won't spoon fed you.
Landon Sullivan
Still using it. Csgo supports
Luis Jones
I have, but I haven't found anything recent apart from some years ago. Reading the update details on MS' website doesn't provide much detail either, since none of the update details i've read through talk about any telemetry (as if they'd tell us there was anyway.)
Dylan Gomez
I've still got Windows 7 and I still like it. When support goes, and the viruses start coming in, I might just buy a whole new computer. I've had this one since 2011 and it still works fine. I might even look forward to the world of hot new recent gaymen, although I unironically only play Age of Empires and I've heard terrible things about the geimu of today (DRM, online-only, no physical copies, everyone perpetually triggered over muh feminisms) so I probably won't rush too quickly to choose between spyware and autism.
Matthew Moore
ntlite your install, it reduces the attack surface (makes it faster too)
Brody Stewart
You could use WES7, pretty sure that only has security updates
Kevin Lopez
just installed it right now, any specific things I should do from the getgo?
Jack Ortiz
i recently tricked out my win7 install with a bunch of awesome shit, and don't plan on using anything else for a while.
may i suggest installing xmeters? oh yeah.

>When support goes, and the viruses start coming in,
No viruses will just "come in" because support is out.
Benjamin Lewis
>not supported
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Is there a safe site where I can get widgets?
Caleb Cooper
Getting a little tight in there.
Lincoln Miller
Use Rainmeter
Cooper Mitchell
lmao why do you want any updates, just use the ult image that is sp1 and has no updates, then use win7 reducer and remove all updater functions
Parker Adams
>rainmeter
Takes too much work, just want to use some simple drag and drop widgets
James Reed
It's not really a boogeyman when it's been demonstrated to happen in the past. Zero days are notorious for coming out the day that support officially ends, and you have no real means to defend yourself from them.
But hey, that's your problem.
John Campbell
dwm actually improves performance you know

everything is old and slow as shit lmao

Honestly, ending support sounds like a selling point instead of something to worry about. Have you seen Microsoft's """"""""support"""""""""""?
Evan Barnes
OwO
Lucas Ward
Same here. I’ve also had my pc since 2011.
Levi Bell
enjoy your 16ms lag
Jonathan Peterson
windows 7 is the end of the line. its all downhill from here on
Samuel Butler
Someone knows what he's talking about. Get the WannaCry patch, maybe some others if a piece of software is demanding it and leave it there.
Robert Reyes
End of support boogeyman applies only for the ignorant and gullible masses
Brandon Price
No, I'm not gonna get wannacry, thx.
Thomas Foster
hey it prevents tearing for me, and desktop gui responsiveness is definitely improved on an oldish machine
Hudson Nguyen
I never thought I will have to pirate windows updates. I kinda like the thought....

It can block/disable some of these spyware updates/services
Nathan Anderson
I've never liked Windows 7 and I can't wait for it to die. Sorry to be mean, but when I stuck with XP I got the same shit from people.
Jace Ramirez
Install Gentoo
Evan Ramirez
I can't upgrade since my netbook is too shitty for both Windows 10 and Linux, so my only option is to keep my Windows 7 Starter until it starting falling apart or I upgrade. Honestly, if I didn't need to browse the web I would still be using Windows XP.
Easton Garcia
So this is the pajeet general? How often do my Win7 bros rinse their gutters?
Blake Murphy
Still on it, will probably "upgrade" to whatever 10's enterprise equivalent is when support ends, on a new machine since this one was surplus in 2011 (also, one of the 2 hard drives in it is from 2007, it's loud as fuck).
As herd immunity goes down after support ends, considering how much important shit I have on it (even with backups), it seems irresponsible to keep it connected to the internet (which is a requirement as my main computer).
I'll probably be using linux a lot more when the time comes around.
Parker Morales

Android?
Juan Wood
It still remains the best windows OS m©$ has ever put out. That by itself is quite sad...
Angel Clark
Is it not 33ms since it's triple buffering?
David Fisher
Is there any other reason not to use Windows 10 other than requiring legacy software and privacy concerns?
Tyler Watson
Yes
Windows 10 is slow in HDD and painfully slow with 2 GiG of ram whereas 7 is fast even in One core & 1 GiG machines
Charles Campbell
after windows 7 just go with windows server 2012
Jacob Ross
Tried puppy linux? Android x86 for shits and giggles?
