What sounds crazier: you running Windows 7 today, or Microsoft about to start charging you for support?
Microsoft will start charging a fee, with yearly escalators, to people still running Windows 7.
As we all know, Windows 7 debuted in 2009.
Sales of the OD stopped in 2014, and mainstream support for Win7 ended sometime in 2015.
For companies that asked – with both their money, and nicely, Microsoft extended support to 2020.
Now though,
מנא מנא תקל ופרסין
The handwriting, is on the wall.
If Windows 7 is your current OS, get the hell off of it.
If you’re running your business on Windows 7, and your IT department/IT guy/IT consultant doesn’t want you off the OS, fire the imbecile immediately!
If, on the other hand, staying with Windows 7 is your decision, over the advice of your solution provider, I am sorry for you.
SMB Impact: Fuego! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
