Somehow the PC rumor mill is saying that Microsoft is terminating Windows 7 effective this week. The story isn’t true.
Microsoft is dropping some support, but Windows 7 will still be available on new PCs for the foreseeable future — probably for several years. The price will go up, and some editions of Windows 7 may not be available, but Microsoft isn’t nefariously forcing the consumer into the Windows 8 camp.
My – oh my, XP again? ( I hate Win 8 but got stuck with it!)

Yeah, that’s the first thing I thought. Microsoft may be trying to avoid another legacy version of Windows like XP. Windows 7 may become that, especially if Windows 10 doesn’t live up to expectations.
