they are trying to scare the computer savvy users who refuse to upgrade to windows 10 with this crap? Been using windows 7 for a number of years now- no issues-

Next MS will refuse to update windows 7

They are getting very aggressive with windows 10- and now they are trying to scare windows 7 users into windows 10- I wonder why- Computer Savvy peeps do NOT want windows 10 SPYWARE anywhere near their computers! But it appears MS is going to do everything possible to force us into it- even going so far as to install updates into windows 7 that nag us to get it AND spy on us

Yup. 7 cant spy on you like 10 can.

I am certain they are under fedgov pressure to do this.

If printer manufacturers are stupid enough to make their printers NON-COMPATIBLE with 55% of the world’s computers then they deserve to go bankrupt.

You hit the nail on the head.

Betcha some future update will do something to cripple W7 or make it more vulnerable just to add to the scare.

My updates are shut off.
