Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again

  No OS is safe, because within millions of lines of code, it is bound to have some vulnerabilities that can be exploited.

  But what is absolutely unsafe, is an unsupported OS, where the vulnerabilities that are found are not solved/patched

    I agree, all I ask is you show me one in Windows 7. Send me a URL that when I click it my bank account is emptied immediately.

    All these threats people see are always something you actively install or are involved in, or some sort of social engineering scam. Even Windows 17 can’t help you with that.

      I don’t know specific vulnarabilities but they either exist already or can be discovered at any moment without being patched. Not installing stuff yourself doesn’t make you safe, just less unsafe.

        I’m perfectly safe, and as usual, all I ask is evidence, not scare-mongering. Are you saying that if I stay with Win7, Russians will transmit themselves under my bed through my ISP?

        Give me an example of a “less safe” website or application on Windows 7.
