I don’t understand why MS continues to offer a lifeline to 7 users. MOST of whom are corporate users.

They should just walk away from 7 and let the chips fall where they may. That includes ALL support for 7.

Well over 90% of clients will make the shift. The others cost too much money to keep on the tit.

Microsoft is in business to make money. They don't care -- hell, they're still supporting WinXP -- IF you have a lot of licensed machines and pay them enough money (and it's a LOT).

They'll be quietly supporting 7 for large business customers for years to come.
