'The end' of Windows 7 is very close

Windows 7 makes way for new generations and it is that Microsoft will stop marketing its licenses from next October 31 for computer manufacturers. Does this mean the end of Windows 7? Partly yes, but they will not stop providing basic technical support until January 2015 and we all know that it is possible to install an operating system that is no longer marketed, even though it no longer receives official support from the company.

Apple has already removed support for Windows 7 in the wizard BootCamp for the new Mac Pro and now it is Microsoft itself that will bypass the operating system in its different versions available, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate. Now the new licenses issued for manufacturers of new PCs will be directly from the controversial Windows 8.

Of course, it is always good to bring advances in the OS of the computers that will arrive, but when the word Windows 8 appears, many users put their hands in the head. Sure Microsoft is putting all the effort to improve this controversial Windows 8.1 that we currently have, but it also has another open front with the new Windows 10.

Now it is expected that Windows 10 be the new Windows 7 and the feeling conveyed by seeing some of the first news about this new Windows is good. My experience with Windows 7 is quite scarce except for work issues, but taking into account some of the comments from friends, colleagues and users linked to this OS, I must say that they speak quite well of it.

    For me the best Windows that I have played are Windows xP and Windows 7. I have been using the Macbook Pro for 5 months and the truth is I don't know if I will play any more Windows, but I do indicate that I have tested the Windows 10 beta and it has a very good Pinta

    Absolutely! in fact, when the NSA topic came up, Microsoft was urging people to adopt W8 for "security" reasons; when everything indicates otherwise.
    But beyond developing a tirade about whether windows if windows not, I reflect what a maquero friend told me once: "There is software that works very well on your OS" There are some that work well on Windows and not on MAC (and vice versa) Linux has its programs, etc, etc.
    In short, what I want is to work and enjoy my computer ... Not to fight with it.
