"Chromebooks last pretty much forever. Unlike Windows machines, which have a lifespan of about three years, I still have Chromebooks running that are seven years old. 

True, their Auto Update Expiration (AUE) dates are now history, so I can't get automatic updates anymore. But, so what? Even Google admits you can keep using them after their average five-year expiration date.  

Now, if this were Windows, it would be a different story. Anyone still running Windows 7 is just asking to be hacked unless they got an Extended Security Update (ESU) contract. And, even that is finally ending in January 2023."

Talk about getting paid to shill a shit OS! If anyone is running Windows 7 they can probably upgrade to windows 10....I can't think of many situations where someone can't upgrade due to requirements and frankly if the requirements are the problem then they probably have more to worry about then security!

Also Windows 7 came out in 2009! That's over 10 years old!

Not to mention Windows computers have to run a real OS unlike Chromebooks which have to run ChromeOS which is just a glorified version of a fucking browser...

O ans while I didn't read the whole article since frankly I have read enough to know it's shit and not worth my time, I will talk about the headline ChromeOS isn't a DESKTOP OS! The only devices I know that use ChromeOS are laptops which well aren't a desktop....
