As technology marches on, some people get trapped using decades-old software and devices. Here's a look inside the strange, stubborn world of obsolete Windows machines.

      Do explain. How is that relevant to not getting bugfixes for your OS?

        Where did I say not to get bugfixes for my OS, which is Windows 7?

            Huh? And what does that have to do with running Windows 7? You can, you know… install all the patches even if Microsoft doesn’t supply them.

            They’re called Service Packs.

            If this is too difficult to grasp, we can talk about something else.
