0patch wants to keep Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 secure by developing and deploying micropatches after end of support in January 2020, I leave the link with the new.
This can help a lot those of us want continue using windows 7 after support.
As Windows 7 approaches end-of-life, one group has a plan to keep patching it | Windows Central
Their website has a nice big fat D, though, that may be due to blogspot of which they use and they may not have the ability to set proper headers. Mozilla Observatory
I read elsewhere that they're charging for non-businesses, depending on how many devices you have.
Don't think there's anything wrong with the company or group, who ever they are, but I was suggesting that if they can't even use proper headers in their htaccess file on the website, then how would anyone trust them with Windows patches?
But again, they are using Blogspot and they may not have any control over the setting of the proper headers.
And yes, that is a school grade where A is best and F is worse.
It makes perfect sense, but the blog implies that only businesses will be charged. I would want to know before I use them for my 4 computers.
This is in their FAQ-
"Yes, our post-EOS (post-End-of-Support) Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 will be available to all users with 0patch PRO or 0patch Enterprise license. So whether you're a home user with just one or a couple of computers, a small business with dozens of computers, or a large organization with a Windows fleet of tens of thousands, you'll be getting these micropatches."
So, the answer appears to be that one must purchase one of the licenses. I didn't look to see what they cost but it might be worthwhile.
On the other hand, Microsoft did provide a patch for XP and Vista for the keyblue (probably not remembering the name correctly) problem. I'm sure someone will correct me.
There was 1 patch for XP. I ran XP safely for 4 years, on the web, after patches ended, just being super-careful. And backup images are insurance.
