>ESU instead ends in 22 months
Bought myself some time, but will this lifecycle at least exceed how long Windows 7 is useable for? In terms of software support and usability as a daily driver there's no way it will lose that charm by the end of the year, but October 2024?
ESU for windows 7 ends in 6 months
>pozzed ready
...
I think the reason it will never lose that charm is because it's the last real DESKTOP OS. Everything since has been designed to at least in some way speak to a touch-based interface. 7 was the last time it was *all* about the keyboard and mouse paradigm. I know it could handle touch devices but that generally just made the Show Desktop button twice as big.
So you're either going to have to move to Linux (and use Plasma or Cinnamon which can decently replicate Windows) or IoT Enterprise LTSC.
It's never going to end, I'm sure there are companies and governments getting private contracts (never to be publicly disclosed) for longer support periods.
Are there any significant differences between regular 7 and POSReady 7? I mean, I could simply google it, but if anybody knows from the top of their head I'll be sure to come back and read you comment after I finish the video I'm about to watch, ty
>piece of shit ready
Why would I want this?
>embedded
It already said it's a piece of shit, why is it telling me this again?
POSReady was designed for point-of-sale devices and is somewhat feature-stripped; no games, no gadgets, some missing convenience programs too, but it's in a similar fashion to LTSC where core functionality remains. Aside from removed features there are some that are added, don't know all of them but there's Windows Subsystems for UNIX
You should be able to ride it out until Windows 12 in 2024.
why are you seriously continuing to stick to Win7, especially in this way? surely just upgrading to a modern linux, or hell even just keeping on the unpatched win7 would be fine than trying to use an embedded system for desktop browsing?
The embedded version barely differs to the standard version in terms of usability, it's really just the predecessor to LTSC.
>t. summerfags who haven't seen the POSReady infographic I can't fucking find
>blindly trusting jew charts
>calls others summerfag
What are you talking about, faggot? It's just an infographic that redpills you on the OS. You obviously do your own research as well.
switch to 8.1
it's 7 with some ugly tiles
Dafuq do you need updates for. Don't run stupid shit like some inner city youths gorilla and you'll be fine.
this but with embedded versions of 8.1, or jump straight to win10 LTSC IoT if you have a hardware that isn't older than the summerfag posters
lmao you niggas really pirate executables on an OS that doesn't have security patches, and it's WINDOWS on top of that
post?
ITT: problems of losers
just install Linux already:
>Kubuntu 22.04
Self service cash registers are still using Windows 7 and I doubt they will be updated any time soon.
You have time MS will extend the service life again.
