    OT: Windows 7 & Google Security risk growing greater?

    Posted by Clement Lecigne, Threat Analysis Group On Wednesday, February 27th, we reported two 0-day vulnerabilities — previously publicly-...


    I don't run Windows 7. but lots of folks do. This may be concerning to them.

    Apparently not a problem for Windows 10.

    Given Microsoft history, I expect that Win 10 has a number of vulnerabilities that are currently known only to hackers, NSA, and foreign agencies.

    Number formats and units may be chosen at random depending on what day it is.
    I reserve the right to use a number system with any integer base without prior notice.
    Generalizations are understood to be "often" true, but not true in every case.

      I run Win7 but 64 bit so not an issue.
      If you benefit from the Dunning-Kruger Effect you may not even know it ;-)

        But what if I like running around screaming.

              I don't use google, nor run any kind of windows. I remain unconcerned.

                This is why I won't use anything newer than Windows 3.1. No one bothers with it so the risk is going down.
