Number

Yup. I'm guessing Microsoft is really desperate to get users to move to Windows 10.

It sucks. I use Windows 7 Pro besides my Linux install and I don't want to be forced into updating to Windows 10 because of a lack of support. :(

I like Windows 7 (and still use it now) because it's just a no nonsense OS without too much manual control (like I imagine Linux is).

My schedule is so busy, so I really need something that just works and that I don't need to spend 2-3 hours tinkering with and setting up.

I hope you guys do realize this is just sales, the article states Win7 will still see support til 2020 and Win8 til 2023

Assuming the sales goes beyond newly bought PCs; I was talking about when I have to reinstall and it claims my key doesn't work (or any other similar situation where I need a key). Instead of being able to purchase Win7, my only option will be Win10. I wasn't just talking about technical support.

A simple checksum will verify the authenticity of the torrented ISO. If it matches the known ones, it will be fine.

Sorry, thats against the CoC. And no, most likely most if not all product keys online are blocked by microsoft.
