Looks like Win 10 will be the one all are forced to use or "upgrade" to by the middle of next year, whether one wishes to or not.

Did you actually read the article? It just means they won’t manufacture NEW PCs with an OLD OS on them. Do you think anyone else does that? Does Apple sell Macs with an old version of OS-X on it?

It amazes me how much of the anti-Microsoft sentiment is ignorance-driven propaganda and other forms of misinformation.

You are not “forced” to do anything. Why you guys keep repeating this nonsense is lost on people with the ability to read.

Go buy a copy of those OSs off of Ebay or Amazon and spend the next 45 years with them if you want. You will not get support and updates forever because it costs lots of money to patch old software for people that think that computing tech stops the moment they like it enough and that it should never move past that.

Microsoft is a company, not a charity to continue to sell and support old OSs forever. No more than Apple or even Linux. And believe me neither of them are supporting versions of those OSs from 2001.

Then my next computer will be a used one with Windows 7 installed on it. F Mr. Softee and its socialist “I’ve got mine, so screw you” founder.

So what's a good source for 4 copies of W7 Home Premium and 1 of Starter for an old netbook?

Wait a minute folks, Bill Gates just came out last week and demanded that Socialism is the Only Cure for Amerika, with that I thought he was going to relinquish his fortune to Obama and tell ALL WINDOWS USERS to immediately switch to Linux because it is FREE and will not contribute to greedy capitalist’s!

I understand GM and Ford will no longer be selling new 2009 model cars and trucks starting next year.
