    I like all the comments ready to take a fisting in the ass from Microsoft just to keep Windows 10.

    If you raised a fucking stink instead of taking this shitty deal, they may be forced to keep supporting it for free anyway like they did with Windows 7.

    They’ve really got you guys cowed into paying for the convenience of getting fucked, don’t they?

    This is a company with a market cap of $3.04 trillion and you guys are just gonna bend over and take it for $30 bucks? Wew lad.

      What an idiotic perspective. Microsoft has supported W10 for literally 12 years at the cutoff date. Show me another software product that receives TWELVE YEARS worth of free support. 30 bucks is fair enough. For enterprises this is play money, if you are a private, you could upgrade fucking 7 keys. Which means, you didn’t need to pay a fucking cent to MS since 2007. No one has ever matched this kinda support. Ten percent of this is considered fucking generous.

      And herre is a thought for you. The reason why windows is full of adware and spyware is precisely because of dickheads, who won’t pay 30 fucking dollars EVERY TWENTY YEARS. This is your fault.

      Microsoft: heh heh heh, looks like you’ll be paying me $30 for that windows 10 installation.

      Me: Bitch, I’m on Windows 7, and keep ignoring the OS bitching at me to turn the firewall on!

              Why are people on your LAN exploiting vulnerabilities on your computer? Don’t you also have a network firewall and NAT?

                The biggest danger isn’t viruses sneaking their way in, it’s from the web browser and email client.

            To be fair, that really depends what you use your PC for. Looking at youtube without a profile, and reddit and the news, playing music, offline games. You will be 100% fine. If you have to log into somewhere with sensitive data, don’t. But as a secondary device you PROBABLY will be fine. Requires significant discipline, to not accidentally log into facebook on it though.

              Me not logging into facebook doesn’t require discipline. I haven’t done it in…

              checks time

              …ever.

              Now, I DO log into government nuke code websites. And I also check Burger King’s website. Just to see if they still sell burgers.

              As of last week…they do!

      It would make sense if Microsoft was liable for any security faults. I’d actually pay for something like that but of course you’re probably paying for some nebulous promise of something between security at best effort basis and whatever they feel like.
