ooooh, a whole 7,000 signatures? Damn, look out Microsoft, almost .00001 percent of your potential customers have signed this. I mean, seriously, 7000?

It’s obviously only symbolic, and 77,777 while they would get there eventually, would take a longer time. This wasn’t meant to be taken entirely seriously, after all.

Oh, and BTW, Microsoft no longer HAS any Windows 7 customers that would buy new licenses, so it’s not like they give a damn about it.

MS will continue supporting it for security patches for a while, but only to high-paying, high-volume business clients with existing licenses. And even that is extremely expensive and will disappear in a couple years.

Or have you been living under a rock? Windows 7 has been Not-For-Sale for years, except through unofficial third parties and dodgy websites.
