AA19-290A: Microsoft Ending Support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

[Richard O'Neill]

  I contacted Micro-Center's service department in Virginia for 
additional info and was informed that the problems initial users of Win 
10 experienced have been fixed and that Win 10 now works /perfectly/ on 
all new machines they sell. Additionally, in the future Microsoft won't 
be selling new versions of operating software but instead, will continue 
(indefinitely?) to provide service to Win 10 users. (Which brings to 
mind the question: Where's the profit in that?)

  Sounds great, doesn't it? Sorta like a lifetime guarantee - provided 
you believe in such things. :-\ Question is, Who's lifetime?

  OTOH, those that don't want to buy a new computer or pay for an 
upgrade /may/ still be able to download a 'free' version of Win 10 from 
Microsoft - as outlined here.
