    Did you read the article? The popup warns users about it, yes. It’s a good thing to let them know there won’t be more security updates for their OS.

        How is that Microsoft’s fault? Should they be forcing users to care, somehow? The warning is already getting people angry as it is.

          People don’t care and they see any pop-up it’s an annoyance and they immediately close it. I once had a student ask why is wasnt allowing her to download something. I asked her to show me what she was doing…as soon as the security warning for “do you want to save or cancel the file?” And then complain that it was broken.

      I can see your point. Warning the user once is probably enough.

        You would be amazed.

        At work we provide popup notifications for a week when a users password is close to expiring

        They still miss it and need to call helpdesk
