well, MSFT has indicated that WIN7 will be supported until at least sometime in 2020. I wouldn't worry too much about WIN7 going away until they first officially discontinue dropping support for VVista. And, while official support hyas vanished for xp, there are still millions of pcs out there that are happily running each day with XP and even older operating systems. The way to force people to migrate to "the latest and greatest" operating system is when 3rd parties stop providing software that folks want to use on an older system. MSFT has done this, to some degree, by not providing IE to work with XP and Vista; and newer WE9s stop at Vista. That's how you get people to move up; so, right now, Win7 has at least 4 life yrs left (if not more) and the marketplace will ultimately determine when a operating system goes away. Just look at how long official support continued for XP though MSFT wanted to kill it. And by the time support for Win7 goes away, who knows what improvements a newer operating system might have.
