"It is commonplace in the computing field to urge users to "
"&ldquo;upgrade&rdquo; to newer versions of Windows (and other nonfree "
"programs) so as to get fixes for &ldquo;security.&rdquo; This conclusion "
"follows from the assumption that these programs are honest software, "
"designed to treat the user right. We do not expect that to be the case, and "
"we know it is not the case for Windows. Therefore, we make a different "
"recommendation."

"In fact, newer versions of Windows have exploits before they are "
"released. They are designed with various kinds of malicious functionalities; "
"see &ldquo;<a href=\"/proprietary/malware-microsoft.html\">Microsoft's "
"Software is Malware</a>.&rdquo;"

"Newer Windows versions contain added malicious functionalities; they give "
"Microsoft more power over the users. That is a reason not to switch to a "
"newer version. For some users, switching to a newer version may require "
"rewarding Microsoft with money and even buying a new computer. We hardly "
"want to encourage that!"

"Therefore we decline to support Microsoft by urging users to move to newer "
"versions; we do not treat the unintentional flaws of Windows as more "
"important than the intentional ones."

"Supporting GNU packages on any version of Windows (or any non-GNU-like "
"systems) is not part of the GNU Project's core mission. Our slogan is, "
"&ldquo;It runs best on GNU/Linux.&rdquo; We cooperate with the users who "
"wish to maintain that support, because we may as well cooperate when it is "
"not difficult. We have no responsibility to continue doing so, but as long "
"as it is feasible and not holding us back, we have no reason to stop."
