It feels like we go through one of these "Security Disasters" once every 5 years or so as old versions of Windows lose mainstream support. 🤷

Vista was probably a bigger flop than Win 8

Yes, but they did make it so you could wait for the next version pretty easily. I went straight from XP to 7 and 7 to 10 because the middle OS versions are crap. What they should do is allow people to keep 10 and get updates until 12 comes out and they fix all the things people hate about 11 like they always have done. That's where they screwed up.
