It would be nice if people did upgrade and continue to get security updates... There’s millions of botnet computers out there and just about all of them are people still on Windows XP. The same thing will happen with 7.

There are lots of ways to keep botnets from taking over without upgrading the OS. Heck, before Microsoft got tough on phone in license numbers, some people would reload an image off of external devices every month just to keep demo licenses current. and to clean up flotsam at the same time.
