As of late, Windows 7's security holds up perfectly fine even when you ring the dinner bell, but you should still never drop your guard, because it'll eventually experience similar issues with completely unprotected systems. But as long as you have reliable antivirus programs that continue support, it's fine.

Antivirus is pretty useless when you rely on a kernel than can be backdoored like 123.

Windows 7 onwards is all still secure, that was the point. It's the operating systems that have been dead for 20+ years that are dangerous to use on the internet.

hello

What about a nice tool also
https://github.com/dpradov/keynote-nf
Very handy when you want to take notes, comments, etc ..
It will be a good addition to my old 1.51 cintanotes or the guide 2.0 https://theguide.sourceforge.net/
https://cintanotes.com/

Bonus
A nice explanation fo the steam error code
https://steamerrors.com/
And the repository of the steam tracking code
https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking
or for something with more explanation

hello
So this video can't apply to the situation most w7+ users are nowadays. No one is directly been connected to internet without the use of an antivirus, firewall ,the routers are.
One of the pre-request of this video was to directly connect the xp machine to internet ... but it's not the situation anymore nowadays as we are mostly behind a router..

If you think Windows 7 is overrated, then you've never tried Windows ME.

Though, Windows ME initially received a generally positive reception when it was released, however it soon garnered a very negative reception from many users due to stability problems. Windows Me became infamously known by many as one of the worst versions of Windows ever released.

My memories is crap, but I cant recall that I had any serious issue with ME. Probably Im a lucky one.

windows 7 has bugs. Windows 7 = great
windows 10 & 11 has bugs. Windows 10 and 11 = Garbage compared to 7 and has bugs and issues.



That is literally your logic in a nutshell.

But you have a great day sir.

hello

No clue if w11 is garbage or not i never used at home into a vm but it does not really attract people for many reasons and that despite all microsoft effort to promote it...(telemetry kb on w10 mostly )
https://borncity.com/win/2024/05/19/windows-11-has-been-falling-in-user-favor-for-months/

It's very easy to fully turn off all the telemetry, which is the only negative about the OS as far as I can tell.

Use firefox, malwarebytes browser guard, duckduck go browser add on, ublock origin and you have a very nice set up. No adverts, no pop ups.

ME was not very good. I used it for a time years ago.

I bought that game years ago for about £5. It's been in alpha for over a decade now. It's about time they finally decided to finish the game. The game has changed a lot over the years.
