Windows 7 meets its end of support deadline on January 14, 2020. After that, Microsoft will offer quite an expensive support program that costs $50 per device. The Windows maker has just announced that the company will provide free security updates for federally certified voting systems running Windows 7 through the 2020 elections.

Windows 7 is still running on millions of devices worldwide, especially in government departments that are historically slower to adopt new technologies. The end of service deadline in January is especially bad news for the 2020 elections in the United States since the last Presidential election’s entire focus was on foreign interference with many questioning the security of election systems.
