Does anybody think that the life of Windows 7 will be extended like XP was? I had blood work yesterday and the hospital is just now switching from XP to Windows 7. Given the cool reception and now hardware problems with Windows 8.1 does anybody see major pressure from businesses about changing...

Is this called false...
I am running a small network for myself and our, erm, "family." We have like 6 or 7 computers all connected through a central router (hardwired or using wifi), with all but one running on Win7 (the oddball is stuck with XP).
