lol cool... but I guess I won't need it as I have an AMD FX9590... and its just old enough to not be a problem.

I think that MS has already released a new update to break this workaround.

This is just pure malignant evil on the part of MS.

Do they really think that this will force people to buy W10?
Is their real plan, make the OS division a separate group, so that they can sell it off or close it down (when people rebel against W10) and not have to support any versions of Windows?

Come to think of it, M$ is just tired of answering problems that users of Windows 7 face with the newer hardware so why not shut off support instead? :P

I'd have this done IF M$ stop putting weird "stuff" on Windows 10.

As it says in the ghack article's comment section, business users won't have a choice since there's no equivalent Linux software for what they do, beyond LibreOffice.
