Because it would create security risk. A lot of system compromised runs on XP.

If it's free, Microsoft can't provide support... as they make no money, so can't pay people to fix things.

It was pointless to sell 7 and 8 simultaneously.

 

Especially when they're the same thing.

Sorry for expressing my opinion, i thought this was a community forum not a dictatorship where the few have important's and the many don't.

When I said "Don't see why people buy windows 7 any-more anyway."

I didn't mean, it in why do people use it.  I meant why do people buy it instead of pirating it.

And yes I agree windows in necessary atm unfortunately.
