this week’s load of updates

Hi all.
The following updates are released.
adobe, flash 23.
piriform ccleaner 5.2.3
microsoft windows and office.
of note are the pdf library update and the ole vb script remote update.
Otherwise its the same fucked up bullshit that microsofts criptoblocked logic releases.
I swear to god that everything from edge, ie, graphics, and kernal as well as office have said the same month after fucking month!
Ok the only difference is where the update just says windows, no component, just windows we have to assume the shell.
smb server, exchange and a few other things.
Apple itunes 12.51 update for windows.
Apple ios 10 is out.
However its recomended you update via your pc at this time.
If you want to update over the air, go ahead but maybe do it later on, a lot of articles are out stating that basically apple’s servers got overwhelmed and overloaded causing phones to be effected with an incomplete install.
If you were lucky, connection to the computer was needed to complete it.
If not, you either got it completed but at the wrong version or it simply didn’t work and you lost all your data.
Either that or you have to buy a new phone because its junk now.
morral, probably not the best to immediately jump on in the first 5 hours of release.
I know I did that with ms manual for win10 and it worked but even so.
If you want to update try over the wire that may work.
Over the air it should work to.
I forgot to add that dispite what ms says about us guys on 7 being old they have just updated the minni service pack roleup from july last year for all windows pre 10 systems servers, etc.
That may not seem like much and it probably isn’t.
It however does mean even in a small way now that microsoft is still improving the os fixing some issues with it.
These don’t happen often but the fact these happen means that at least for now we the users actually have the ability to well have a repreeve from the end of 7.
I do remember that even with the end of windows xp, ie, and a few other things were still updated for a while.
Even when they stopped, things like silverlite and bits of office were still updated.
Dotnet 4.0 still exists and in fact I do know that from time to time that is updated.
Weather that means its updated for xp to is anyone’s guess.
However with all the newer and some of the older software previders switching from xp, eventually when its to hard to support, the os is basically dead.
I doubt that will happen to 7 as quickly.
Even if it does, there are enough software programs and enough hardware that that will never happen.
I do know that after 5th generation i series cpus that we will not be able to use win7 on those.
but we have only 4th gen here, and they still work.
Our systems are fast enough that we don’t need to go faster.
I doubt ms will be able to kill 7 like they did xp.
Even when support ends, the fact is you can just use firefox and not ie, ie is bad anyway.
Next you will have to use other security than msse, but that can be done to.
Actually for email you are covered, you can use things like virustotal to check files, and over that, as long as you are carefull it should be ok.
The end will probably be not when support ends or even if newer hardware stopps supporting it, but the end of 32 bit systems and a system with 4gb ram by default.
For the standard user I am all for going with a referbished pc with 7 on it.
I have little need for the latest i7, I need an i7 quad or i5 quad and the 4th generation my dad has is fast enough.
The 4th gen my uncle has is over speed.
Even if I do go the windows 10 rout, microsoft will be sorely dissapointed.
Though I rage against this, at least on my workstation I will be sevenising as much of 10 as I can.
I will probably get rid of as many of the ms apps as I can.
And I will not be using universal apps at all.
Microsoft will have to make me use them if I am going to do so.
I have not as yet thought about if I will use a legal version of 7 or not, it just depends on how screwed microsoft leave users in the next 5 years.
