I bet the die hards will pay untill 2023, and hope by then Linux is a thing.
Nope 😀

The die hards will not switch to Linux; they're called "die hards" for a reason. But, I'm sure the people who prefer Windows 7 but aren't zealots of it might switch. Linux has been making tremendous progress in the past 2 years.
The die-hards struggle enough as-is dealing with the relatively minimal differences of Windows 10, so switching to a whole different OS with some pretty substantial differences isn't gonna happen. They will cling onto Windows 7 the same way XP die-hards did.
Of course, I would like to clarify there's a difference between your average Windows 7 user and the die-hard users. There are a few people here who use Windows 7 for practical reasons, such as compatibility or stability.
The only difference between the XP days is there's not really a clear future of where Windows will be by 2023. Not like I care - if they want to be left behind, not my problem.

i am still rolling W7, i even like 8.1 (with start 8), 10 is ok if you do the privacy and telemetry homework, next year i'm having a new build and it will have W10, W7 have been a great experience so far!

So is W11 around the corner?

Anyone using WIndows 7 "can" disable or hide this Update without any problems.
The Update in Question here is --> KB4493132
Greetings 😛

Windows 8.1 2023... hopefully, MS has the Windows 10 Alpha buttoned up and ready for its Beta release 😎

M$ should inform us when it releases competent version of Windows that actually suppose to replace Win7.

Hard to swallow the fact that people prefer Win7, eh 😀
Can't get enough of your teenager emotions. Please tell me more what you feel about Win7 and its users.
Maybe add more creativity! I will give you a like. No bambooze.

Even if you pay me 100$ per month to stay with windows 7, I wouldn't do it. Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows XP before, were a way of life. Only Windows ME, Vista and 8 were a failure.

Windows 7 is a much stabler operating system than 10
I will make a bet that within one week there is another Windows 10 screw up thread.
