Im still using Windows 7 & 10 @The Question

Do you think its still a good choice?

Installed Visio 2010 & it worked just fine.

as good as or better than Office 365.

Missing AI features tho

Seems Adobe never really got any better after after CS6 & Office still about the same as office 2016.

Only those versions never expire

essentially the same products

I guess when a user is as unsophisticated as myself caint tell the difference between old 'n new. lol

No. Here's why:

Microsoft Windows remains the most heavily-targeted OS family for malware and viruses. Windows 7/10* are no longer patched against those attacks. *10 may still be if you're on ESR, but -- generally speaking -- that may or may not be sufficient.

Moreover, even when it isn't compromised by third-party bad actors, it's just a subpar product compromised by Microsoft themselves, and that's getting worse all the time. Adobe is just as predatory and user-hostile as Microsoft is, last I heard.

Unless you're in a profession which absolutely locks you into a piece of software, odds are high and getting higher than you don't have to stay locked inside Microsoft's corral to do basically anything you want to do on a computer.

What I do with Windows 7 is just operate all the software/computer offline. For some reason W7 never required an Internet connection to use most conventional software. Nor to even activate it it. Back then a person either phoned or just entered a serial number and that wss it. So I don't try to surf the Internet at all with it. It's always in offline mode.

So I suppose with that method it can never get hacked if it's never online? Guess it's best to kerp it that way, eh?

Yeah, if it does what you want it to do, offline, then it sounds like you're set.

What happened to "Windows 10 is going to be the last version after that it will just be upgrades".

That's what I want to know.
