Win 7 on way out

[Emulator]

It seems Win 7 support is already taking a step towards its eventual demise in 2020.

I don’t think it will bother me to much by then, in fact I’d even welcome it if I’m not using the cloud system by then, Celestial Stars, Harps and the like..

I think you not like technology Mr. @The Hat .

I'm happy with Win 8.1, and it seems WIN 10 will be a free upgrade.
Windows is the last OS you have to pay for.

I think the subject of this thread is getting a little confused. The heavenly bit should be in "Just a thought-". The Hat's 1000 likes deserves it's own thread.

Would not worry, XP was supposed to have died years ago and support only ended this year. Most people (BE you a fan or not) do not use Windows 8, if that doesnt change come 2020 i doubt win 7 support will even stop then. Original support kill off dates did not happen for win 98 or 2000, or XP. I doubt Win 7 will either just scaremongering to make you upgrade to Windows 8.

As for New computers not really news as MS have always wanted OEMs to include their latest Os.
