Until your kid becomes outdated, and they stop making vaccines for her, sure. (I'd have no problems keeping up to date if Microsoft's support periods were as long as the medical industry's are for my child).
At this point, Windows is going to end up just being my mostly-disconnected gaming OS when they stop releasing security updates in a little under 2 years.
Windows 10 needs to dump the animated ad tiles and allow complete removal of their remote-processed speech API. If they're going to continue with forced reboots, there needs to be some tech where apps run in suspendable containers, or something. I'm tired of picking up the computer in the morning and trying to remember everything I had open to work on whatever I was doing before the reboot.

- khedoros1 9y agoAre you saying that you think they'll re-extend the Windows 7 extended support period, or did you assume that I was talking about Windows 10?
- dingo_bat 9y agoI am assuming you are talking about Win10. Because you should not be using deprecated software on the internet.
- khedoros1 9y agoUntil January 2020, Microsoft is producing security patches for Windows 7. I'll continue using it until that time. Past that point, it'll be a fallback for software that I can't get running under Linux (similar to the positions that XP, 98, and DOS fill for me). If Microsoft only wants to support new software, they should make new software that people want to switch to without being tricked, forced, and coerced into it.
