I would not want to run an unsupported OS of any variety.

Modern web browsers will stop working on older operating systems - so will other apps.

Not only is it a massive security risk, but it will simply become impractical for most users.

Besides, if you're afraid of the TPM vulnerability described in this article, you ought to be more worried about running an out of date OS!

Windows 7 is only starting to get obsoleted now : while Microsoft is still updating it with critical security fixes, Qt and Chromium dropping it is pretty much the end for non-legacy usage. (Good bye Windows I guess...)
