Someone is hacking the hackers

Some? I've never seen anything newer than Windows 7 on a corporate PC. I'm sure they're out there somewhere but none of the companies that I've worked at in the last 9 years has ever had Windows 8 or newer.

Amazon was on Windows 10 in 2020 (and probably earlier; I don't remember when I upgraded while I was there).

The last Windows 7 I saw in production was on Wednesday. An attorney with a lot of secrets to protect had them on his notebook.

He isn't entirely oblivious about security, has his hard drive encrypted and encrypts some of his calls, but the non-updated system is a disaster waiting to happen.

I have to use Windows 7 daily at my current job at a bank (connecting via VDI). I forgot to wish the operating system happy tenth birthday a couple weeks ago.
