They’re not alone, either. Lots of businesses would rather stay with Win7 and pony up $200+ per computer per year, rather than suffer the higher cost of converting to Win10. If your business has 5,000 computers, all running Win7, it makes economic sense to spend $1M/year for support, rather than probably 10 times that much to upgrade the computers, rewrite your custom applications, and retrain all your users.
