Speaking to Windows Weekly, Microsoft Marketing chief Chris Capossela explained that users who choose Windows 7 do so “at your own risk, at your own peril” and he revealed Microsoft has concerns about its future software and hardware compatibility, security and more.
[...] There’s only one problem with Capossela’s statements: they are complete rubbish. Windows 7 is no less secure than Windows 10 (it will be supported until 2020) and no less compatible with new hardware and software. In fact its far greater market share means it is developers’ priority and has greater compatibility with legacy programmes and peripherals. If Fallout 4 won’t run on your Windows 7 computer, it will be upgrading your components not installing Windows 10 which fixes that.
As for fragmentation, the only issue that creates is for Microsoft and its target of getting one billion devices running Windows 10 within 2-3 years of release.

Yeah, I'm the same way, though you may be slightly more forgiving than I normally am. If I had hit that page on a search or linked from another page I would have just closed the tab as soon as I saw that it displayed nothing with NoScript enabled. I do not tolerate sites that can't at least display some useful text when JS is disabled.
The only reason I even bothered this time is I was curious how bad it was that it got a special notice at the end.
