softpedia :Windows 7 continues to be the number one operating system in the entire world, even though the latest figures released by several research firms indicate that Windows 8 is increasing its market share too.
Regarding providing support for Chrome on Windows 7, Google seems to have run out of patience. The most popular browser in the world will stop receiving
The cloud storage platform will drop support for older versions of Windows in early 2022.
Microsoft no longer supports Windows 7, which means your computer is at risk. The FBI has some tips for you and your business.
... I'm a deskto/laptop user, so why would I want a touch-screen OS when I have absolutely no desire to bend forward and touch the screen to navigate my way around...!?
And yeah, Windows 7 is great, so why would I want a newer OS that by most accounts would be a step backwards, and annoying.
Yes, I know there are tweaks and crap you can download and install and use to make W8 more like the experience you would have on Windows 7, but don't want to have to jump through hoops just to undo all the poor changes they made, just to get it back working as a perfect 3 year old product.
I really and truly hope some manufacturers will just start selling Windows 7 systems again, instead of all the current W8 systems on sale, which are preventing me from buying a new laptop.
I like windows 8 because it is a prettier version of windows 7. I like the apps and the look of metro. It is just 40 bucks so the upgrade is a no brainer for me. Then again I am all about out with the old in with the new.
Its just WIN 7.5 & I liked it ..
Its not the best but it is NOT THE WORST :)
How can everybody like windows 7 if 39% of the market is still using windows xp while 44% is using windows 7. Also i think the analyst is wrong if he believes that when the people finally drop windows xp, they will choose windows 7 as their OS of choice. Windows 7 has been out for over 3 years now and they will most likely move on to windows 8 since it is faster(I'm going by what users of the OS are saying) than windows 7. I strongly believe that the people who are still using windows xp prefers performance and support over anything else and before anyone says why not use windows 2000 then; don't be stupid, support for that OS from the software community is none existent this day and age while xp is still going strong with the exception of a few games.
