Microsoft is discontinuing EMET next year.
This is a pity, as it allows Windows 7 and 8 users to protect apps against all sorts of exploits.
Perhaps MS wants to up the pressure to upgrade to Windows 10?

I know they partnered with Bromium to help create this. https://blogbromium.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/bromium-micr...
So essentially they replaced it with a microvisor, its pretty neat really. I haven't personally played with it yet, but I am curious how they deal with user/application data. Bromiums offering was very limited in many ways (mainly the applications that are supported) but it is amazing. You basically can open up a browser, grab a virus, shutdown the browser. And you are done! Once you launch it again it will be a clean application, on a fresh microvisor.

> We have listened to customers' feedback regarding the January 27, 2017 end of life date for EMET and we are pleased to announce that the end of life date is being extended 18 months. The new end of life date is July 31, 2018. There are no plans to offer support or security patching for EMET after July 31, 2018. For improved security, we recommend that customers migrate to the latest version of Windows 10.
