All of Microsoft's cajoling and pushing Win10 on everyone, Win7 still has over half the Windows market and has not changed a bit in the past year.

The article whines about how this will be an unsupported OS in 2.5 years, but there is no way MS can keep that date if so many are still using Win7.

XP still has over 7% and Win8 almost 8% of the Windows PC market. I can't imagine Win7 usage will drop that much in the next 2 years.

- I like 10. Can't see anyway 7 is preferrable, though I can see why some wouldn't find the upgrade worth it. -- nm - pmb Jul 7, 15:27
