There are still people so powerful they manage to use Windows XP in this day and age. My intuition says most people will be able to use Windows 10 for at least one more decade with minimal issues, after that it will gradually become trickier, but it will still be usable even in 20-30 years with advanced hacks if humanity doesn't go extinct by then.

"Powerful" probably wouldn't be the word I'd use given that security updates have stopped. Maybe "foolhardy"?

Yeah, I don't use critical software that doesn't get security updates, and an OS is super critical.

If you're going to stick with ancient software, at least throw it in a VM so it can't screw up everything else (and don't let it touch the rest of your network).

Those people are called doctors and they deserve your respect!

Seriously the posts on here make me laugh so much. Linux has never felt like more of a cult than since I've been on Lemmy... And I use Linux! But I also use Windows! I used Windows XP, 7 and 8 all well past their prime and will do the same with 10.
