Lifespan of windows 7?
Sorry if that has already been answered, but I searched here and googled the web.
I looked here and noticed XP Pro is supported (security patches only, I suppose) till 2014, which is great and makes 13 years.
however, vista, which came on the market in 2007 only gets supported till 2012, which brings it to 5 years and basically means XP has a longer useful life than vista (I know, many people say it is more useful anyway
so, what is the supported lifespan of "7"? I know, I can use it forever... but without added features for new hardware and security patches it becomes obsolete over time. I think 13 years is not necessary, but 5 years is too short. since "7" only is the "vista like it should have been" I hope its supported life doesn't end in 2012 either
Again, sorry if that has been posted already, but searching didn't yield anything... only million references to XPs lifespan.
