if you use windows7 professional like I do, then you will have good support and updates through the year 2020 or so.

if you are on a low income you can get laptops from newegg and from
blaire technology group for between $200 and $300 and they are quite
powerful and run windows7. some with windows8.1. but I've found more
games run on win7 even today. I tried win8.1 and it froze and made my
CPU keep running at 100% even on the desktop with nothing open. so last
night I went back to windows7 professional. that's another thing if you
want a long long support cycle with windows be sure to get the
professional version never buy home versions.

Hi Charles,

True. Obviously, for people on low income etc it would be better for
them if Microsoft continued releasing updates indefinitely, but do to
the costs of running a software business such a thing isn't really
feasible.

Although, that is one reason I use quite a bit of open source software
such as Linux. Cost isn't really a factor for me. I get an operating
system, screen reader, office suite, and a bunch of other software for
basically the cost of a download and a disc to burn it on. Therefore
the way I see it if someone wants to stay up to date and is on a
limited budget there are options other than Windows if someone is
willing to make the conversion to a less expensive alternative.

Cheers!

The only reason that updates aren't available is that they aren't
provided.

I know that the newer technology and hardware is better, but if you
can't
afford it due to bills, low income and other major stumbling blocks,
you're

stuck.  If the updates were provided, for the end user anyway, problem
solved.
