Windows 7 is finally dying

At long last, Windows 7 users are beginning to drop the operating system in favour of newer versions.

This trend is reflected in the latest data from NetMarketShare, which shows that the adoption of Windows 10 continues to increase as more Windows 7 users heed Microsoft's warning regarding the operating system's impending loss of support.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Not until Win 10 stops the crashy smashy massive update BS.

I have customers still using DOS and Win 2000

Maybe some of the banks will finally wake up to the fact that Windows 7 is now dead and that they need to recompile their cr@ppy apps.

You can stick to Win 7 for eternity if you want. Just don't connect to the internet.

Huh? What banking apps need windows 7?

Ja nee, I'm pretty confused as well. Apps (vs full proper applications) aren't a Win 7 thing, and thus one would just use the website?

"We are declaring Windows 7 dead in preparation for a May 2019 RTM release" - Microsoft.

Bill would still be very rich if he gave 80 percent of his wealth to charity.
Millions could go to charity if he could persuade Microsoft to sell Windows 7 again.

Microsoft also added this warning with today’s announcement saying that 20H1 builds are from the development branch (RS_PRERELEASE) and “may contain bugs that might be painful for some.”

And therein lies the problem. Not all of these get sorted out properly before they release the update.

I will use Win 7 for as long as I can. Or until Win 10 gets better for gaming.

I don't see a correlation. It would certainly seem Win7 users aren't leaving it for Win10 or vice versa. Faulty data perhaps and not much has happened in the last year?

Somethings never get fixed

 

[Vox Populi Vox Dei]

I'm still using Windows 7 and very happy with it.

I use Windows 10 at the office and I don't really like it. Total bollocks!

Not sure what build you were having issues with but right now 1809 is solid for me, not one crash since i got my PC upgrade with a clean install.

 

[stefan9]

Perfectly happy with win 10, never had an issue.

I thought most ATMs are still on XP

Never... Win 3.1 dammit... If it works dont change it.

 

[Marc123]

Windows 10 regularly screws up on my machine.
Only reason I don't load 7 is because manufacturers refused to release drivers for it.
If the software I need ran on linux, I would drop windows 10 in a heartbeat.
Hate is too kind a word.

 

[ArmatageShanks]

Mine isn't, still going as strong as ever, unless MS nukes it remotely.
