I am not wrong in saying that Microsoft pulled7 from the retail shelves.

Amazing amount of ignorance from one who has an axe to grind

I'm not disputing that you can't walk into the Microsoft Store and buy a copy of Windows 7. But neither can you walk into the Apple Store and buy a copy of OS-X Lion. Enterprise customers can, by the way, continue to buy Windows 7 licenses.

What I was disputing was the claim that Microsoft doesn't support old versions of Windows, or that Apple's support is comparable. I gave you a specific example of Microsoft supporting XP for 12 years, and Apple having already stopped patching an OS that is only 4 years old.
