Windows 7 Costs German Government

At least one European government fails to migrate to Windows 10 in time, and has to pay the price-- Handelsblatt reports the German government faces an €800000 bill in order to secure 33000 Windows 7 machines still in use.

According to the report, the German government is currently undergoing migration to Windows 10, but failed to upgrade all machines in time. In fact, 20000 of the 85000 PCs in use by the Berlin local government still run on Windows 7. Windows 7 support ended last week, specifically on 15 January 2020, and it means no more patches, updates or security updates, making machines running on the OS particularly vulnerable to cybercriminals.

Microsoft Ends Windows 7 Support

It's been a long time coming-- Microsoft finally closes the window on Windows 7, following the commitment to offer 10 years of support for the OS when it was released back on 22 October 2009.

But what does end of support even mean? As per Microsoft, after 14 January 2020 PCs running on Windows 7 will no longer receiver security updates. In addition, the company is also shutting down number of related services, including games such as Internet Backgammon and Internet Checkers and the Electronic Program Guide for Windows Media Centre. As such, Microsoft recommends customers still to upgrade their OS should either do that (for a fee, of course) or simply buy a Windows 10 machine. After all, older machines might not be able to run Windows 10, as it needs at least a 1GHz processor, 32GB or storage and 1GB of RAM, among other system requirements.
