Microsoft
is warning customers that the end is soon coming for Windows 7 in much
the same way it came for Windows XP earlier this year. The company will
end free mainstream support for Windows 7 on January 13, 2015, but users
will continue to get security updates till 2020.
The move will mostly affect consumers. Businesses that pay for extended Windows 7 support, as most of them do, will be supported for another five years, until January 14, 2020.
That's important, because many businesses are right now are in the process of upgrading their old Windows XP PCs, but they're moving to Windows 7, not Windows 8.
