cool storry broo
did you install gentoo?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Man AMD is so fucking hilarious

No idea how their stock is still going up

>our x86_64 processor somehow magically will be incompatible with the x86_64 standard on Windows 7

that's how stupid this sounds. see how skylake is "incompatible" with w7 too

time to upgrade faggot!

Undoubtedly MS gave them an offer they couldn't refuse

Considering they've actually tested it on 7 there's hope for unofficial drivers though

>>58956177
It will still work with Windows 7, it just won't ever be optimized for it.

>caring about a nearly decade old OS
kys faggot

>>58956652
You are wrong though. They quickly walked back that statement in the same week, and Skylake has full support, unlike kaby, that literally has no drivers

>>58956652

So incompatible that Im running W7 with Skylake i7 just fine.

>>58956789
How will the xhci function without drivers?

>>58956177
If you still use windows 7 you should either switch to windows 10 or Linux.

Isn't it up to motherboard manufacturers to supply the drivers? AMD doesn't really have anything to do with it.

>>58956838
No you stupid shit, Mobo manufacturers have nothing to do with drivers

>>58956177
this is pretty gay, since I was planning on picking up a Ryzen low end quad core to stick into a permanent 00's era PC to keep around for life.

>>58956837

Why?

Because they want you to run it on a GNU/Linux host with a VM

>>58956975
>tfw easiest way to run windows 7 on modern hardware is using KVM passthrough on Arch linux

JUST

>>58956931
Because new hardware won't support it, just like in this case.

>>58957057

They said that Skylake wont support Win 7 and I was using this combination without any problems at all.

>>58957103
You are wrong, tho. It has full support.

>>58956177
get GNU or get out faggots.

>>58956177
they tested it on 7 and it works, they just won't provide support for it

That's not even a problem
>32 PCIe lanes on the top model and X370
THIS is the problem with Ryzen

>>58956657
>People still care about Windows
FTFY

>>58956177
here's some truths for you OP.

>no version of windows is secure
>no version of windows respects your privacy
>no version of windows respects your rights
>running any version of windows is harmful
>running any version of windows in a stateful manner is extremely harmful

if you absolutely must use it, then use the latest, and make sure to run it in a VM. use GPU passthrough if you want to play video games.
make sure to keep it in the dark and feed it shit.
make sure it believes itself to be the only machine on the network.
make sure it has no write access to anything important.
make sure it's down when you're not using it.

you achieve NOTHING by sticking with windows 7.

Cute.

>>58957953
show me its wrong, granted the image was likely bullshit, but look at the eula and tell me that I can trust microsoft to not stick a camera in my ass.

>>58956789
give me a recent os that is worth a damn.

linux refuses to step up to the plate/get support from actual companies and macs are fucking bad.

>>58957751
better security than linux.

The 17 people who buy the latest hardware but still run W7 must be devastated

>>58959303
Are you implying Telemetry isn't on W7 now too?

>>58956177
>http://www.pcworld.com/article/3167279/computers/

Intel did the exact same thing though.

>>58956177

well thank god, let it die. don't let it become another XP.

t desktop application developer.

stop using outdated crap

thank u.

>>58956177
People still use Windows 7?

You are literally everything that's wrong with PC users.

>i never Caught a Virus
Do you monitor your system 24/7 for any kind of access or modification to system files, or any file for that matter?
Do you actually believe a "virus", rootkit or whatever kind of botnet bullshit is out there will greet you with a popup that your PC won the botnet lottery?
Any well written malicious program will be completely invisible to the user and the computer's performance, and will only be found by careful analysis of the system or its traffic.
It's not the 90s anymore where a virus would be obtrusive like Bonzi Buddy or slow your machine to a crawl.

>I use 3-4gb out of my available 16 tops
Why even have 16GB then?
While I agree that software bloat and using RAM for unnecessary bullshit is bad, not using the available RAM to increase performance is bad too.
