Microsoft has updated its Windows Lifecycle Fact Sheet page. OEMs now have until October 31, 2016 to sell PCs with Windows 7 preinstalled.

Windows 7 users to Microsoft : Fuck off
I'm surprised Microsoft even has to make this announcement. Windows 10 is so well loved. After all, "Windows 10 is the fastest-selling version of Windows." The demand is so high, Microsoft doesn't know what to do with all of the support requests it gets asking how to upgrade from Windows 7/8.x. The only thing it can possibly do is change Windows 10 from an optional update to a recommended update.
And this probably doesn't apply to OEMs selling to business (you buy a laptop with a Windows 10 license with Windows 7 preinstalled).
I'll wait and see if Windows 10.1 redstone fixes everything because windows 10 now is a horrible disaster.
The drop and drag is one of the most common things people use and Windows 10 doesn't have it.

Good luck with them moving corporate ecosystems to Windows 10 anytime soon. It shouldn't take as long as the XP migration but it will be a while.
Come on XP had 7 good years, and Win7 (arguably the only decent successor to it) get 4?
Summabitches better let me reinstall when I upgrade my computer
Mircosoft controls our choice of Windows by setting life-cycle on each version for PC OEMs.
*smh*
Good luck making rent with all those Metro app sales.
I clearly didn't comprehend what was being said. Enterprises with Software Assurance won't be affected by this. They can still install Windows 7 all they want. Poor self employed, small businesses and entrepreneurs who rely on getting their Windows licenses with their laptops.And this probably doesn't apply to OEMs selling to business (you buy a laptop with a Windows 10 license with Windows 7 preinstalled).
Mac OS X did it first (before Windows). And look how well the Mac OS X App Store does in comparison to the iOS App Store.The Windows Store can now distribute Win32 apps and there are some pretty big apps on the way like the next Tomb Raider game.

What are you talking about? I read that thread and it makes zero sense because I have no issues with drag and drop on any of the 100's of systems I have worked on since Windows 10 was released. Not once, not ever.
My company has gone to great lengths to block any type of file sharing, including Dropbox and OneDrive. Considering those are integral parts of Microsoft's new direction, I think there will be some push back from the large companies that would prefer not to expose data.
And that's when Winston realized: he loved Big Microsoft.
