    Dell to continue offering Windows 7 after launch of Windows 8


    Posted: 14 Oct 2012
    Dell will continue offering Windows 7 even after the release of Windows 8 at the end of October, the company said.

    The Windows 7 OS, which reached PCs in October of 2009, will be offered as an option to commercial and gaming customers, said Alison Gardner, director at Dell. The company will offer Windows 7 as long as it is allowed to, Gardner said.

    “We’re still moving our business customers from [Windows] XP to Windows 7, Gardner said.

    Now that's a sensible move.

    Very smart move, as a lot of users will not like the new UI of Windows 8.

    I think many PC and laptop manfs will follow suit,makes sound business sense,though I think many of the younger generation with touch/smartphones will love Win 8
