Windows 7 obsolete?

>>61456747
No.

It's about as obsolete as XP was in 2010. Not totally just yet, but we're already seeing the beginning of software/hardware dropping support for it. You won't get away with using it as a daily driver for much longer if you intend on using up to date software/modern hardware, not to mention the gaping security holes that will be exposed (and remain unfixed) after EoS. If you want an alternative to 10 you're better off installing 8.1 with some start menu replacement program.

>using windows 7 since forever
>still haven't encountered any of these bugs, incompatibilities or security issues the shills keep reporting

?

>>61456747
not if you use it on the same pc you installed it
windows upgrade makes sense only if you get new unsuported hardware because thats how microsoft is

Where are the ads supposed to be in Win10? I can't find any, I haven't done any registry tweaks or changed any group policy settings, I just have not seen any. I'm using Pro if that affects anything.

No.

When it becomes obsolete, people will finally switch to KDE Plasma.

>>61457342
It's talking about the ads you see on websites you fucking retard.

>>61457844

What software not made by Microsoft doesn't support Windows 7?

>>61457922
Linux.

>>61457922
>What software not made by Microsoft doesn't support Windows 7
There's probably none right now but Visual Studio 2012 (first preview released in 2011) did not work on XP.
XP was released in 2001. Support ended in 2014.

It's now 2017.
Windows 7 was released in 2009, support ends in 2020.
Soon.

DirectX12 is a complete failure as well, offers no performance boost and only a handful of games are exclusive DX12 titles (all made by Microsoft).

DX12 will be abandoned in the next few years and they will move on to DX13/14.

DX12 on Windows 7 when?

Windows 7 <3

>>61456747

Not yet. I will be at some point, kinda like XP is now but its still alive and all. The only reason Im using Windows 10 right now is because I had to make clean OS install, otherwise I would be running my old, 6 years old Win7 installation instead.

But slowly more and more software will be compatible only with newest Windows, some even refusing to be installed at all. But thats how it work.

>>61459253

Never. Why you even ask this question? Vulkan on 7, sure, but MS wont add DX12 to 7 just like they didnt add 10/11 to XP.

2017 and still using mechanical drives on your desktop?

>she fills the second word with calle to fuck the botnet

>>61459556

And did anybody provided DX10/11 to XP? Why somebody would even want to deal with that in case of DX12? Especially since games utilizing it are rare and there is Vulkan as well?

You are the one dumb here.

>>61459556
DX12 is pointless.

I can only think of one game I want to try that utilizes it (I would think) and it's Crackdown 3 and really, it ain't worth it. Fuck, I remember trying it on Deus Ex: MD and it was worse.

>she

lol newfags when will they learn

>>61459699
Windows 10 right now isn't anywhere near as popular as 7 was this far into it's lifespan. Not everyone wants to use Windows 7 as their main OS then boot into Windows 10 just to play the handful of DX12 games, it's a hassle.

Someone will make it work.

Windows 7 acts and behaves like trash when compared to 10. Sorry fanboys.

Idk, 7 doesn't have this problem

>>61456747
No.

>>61456747
There's no more updates, it's not supported.

Here's a better question. Why did you bother making a fucking retarded thread? Did you really think /g/ would enjoy talking about a subject that wasn't worth responding to the first thousand times it's been made?

>>61460286
7 is supported until October 2021

>>61460244
DELETE THIS

Never encountered that problem. Nice try though.

>>61460452
Not really that, I just find that the newer applications "clash" with it. Also, I think WSL works better than cygwin or msys, and I'd like to use those.

I think they look fucky. It really annoys me when applications don't take hints from the host environment.
