Doesn't MS still offer paid updates for win7?
1 comments

yah for another month. The official paid support is "Extended Security Updates (ESU) through January 2023"

But, it wouldn't surprise me at all if a couple large (or important) customers with some special cases have some kind of incident support contracts which basically dictate that MS fixes exploits or bugs in embedded systems/whatever. Its happened in the past, so no reason to think that some nuke plant tied to windows7 can't get a timezone update or whatever in a couple years after paying $$$$$ for it.

Windows Embedded POSReady 7

Extended Security Update Year 3 - End Date 2024-10-08
