Welp.
They finally did it. Windows as a service my ass. To summarize, after 2020 Windows 7 Updates will now need to be paid for, straight from the horse's mouth. Speak your thoughts. https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2018/09/08/microsoft-windows-7-monthly-charge-windows-10-free-upgrade-cost/amp/ Also hey I'm back I guess. ____________________ Irony is the spice of life. |

end of the line, microsoft. feels like they've ran out of ideas to make money.
the one thing I'm looking forward to is, some users aren't gonna take it and either leak the updates somehow or form DIY communities around patching any security issues, the one thing updates are useful for. updates are fucking pointless outside of that. if your system works, it works. updates aren't making it "better" nor can you reach (or need) perfection. if you can just patch whatever yourself, you don't have to hand over your computer to a company you can't trust anymore while they make a profit off you. |

It's funny how when it came to XP they extended free support until 2014, but for 7 you have to pay after 10 years. Also this only applies to Enterprise and Business users, so Home users are fucked.
As Thierry said, people are going to leak the updates. Like how POSReady trick works on WXP, and installed Server 2008 updates will work on Vista. Very likely it is the same updates as those for Server 2008 R2 that will carry on for a while, so yeah |

Apparently I think the monthly Windows 7 applies only to the professional version.

I thought so that I can just pirate the updates instead of forking my money over over this clear scam.
I really hope this plan falls flat or that the backlash against it will make Microsoft think twice about placing users into a sinking ship and they can't access lifeboats without having to pay to unlock those doors. |

I really can't believe 2020 is the same distance away from when Windows 7 came out as 2014 to windows XP. Absolutely insane. Time flies. |
