...and older versions of Internet Explorer. At least I'm still on Windows 8.1, so IE11 is still safe.

Yes. I believe that Windows 7 support will last for about four years.

Isn't Windows 8 fairly new?

Yes, but there is a free upgrade to 8.1 for all Win 8 users.

Oh.

I'm still on 7 though.

We do have the option of moving to Windows 10 for free. I'm still on 7 as well though.

Same here. Windows 10 sounds pretty good, but still not quite good enough where I want to ditch Windows 7, I still think 7's the best version hands down.

You can upgrade to 10 for free, so probably that´s the reason why MS is dumping 8.

I use OS X. It's totally the best version of Windows that has nothing to do with Windows at all.
