It also means they won't be fixing security issues, and that will paint it as a target for hackers.

As long as it is financially feasible for Microsoft to continue to release patches, they will never get rid of Win 7. Heck, the Navy still uses XP for a few of their systems...That's what

I do remember going to where my father worked back in the early 70s where they had the computer room in which some giant monstrosity used punch cards.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostYup - I had a 300 baud modem that let me dial (literally, of course) into Sam Houston University's computer lab and be on a very rudimentary text-only bulletin board, and the highlight was watching a "movie" of Godzilla's foot crushing King Kong (might have my characters wrong, but Godzilla was one of them) in an incredibly crude slow motion graphic.
I was thrilled when I upgraded to 1200 baud!
The original took a bit longer until Bambi was squashed with the credits taking far longer than the movie ending with Godzilla flexing its claws at the very end.
