No, but they'll stop fixing security bugs, so you'll fairly soon be
pwn3d.

Perhaps you could splurge on a �200 Windows 7 laptop, or check out
the wonders of Ubuntu.

Dear Levine,

Wine is getting better. :^) 

Windows 7 is not in production, so average users may have a harder time finding Windows 7 still on the shelf.  Many will likely opt for a third-party start menu add-on for Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 Pro with a downgrade as a means to avoid unfriendly tiles which may also require a hardware upgrade.  A real concern is the vast majority industrial controls such as ATMs using Windows XP.  It seems this somewhat hidden segment of the market lacks effective incentives.
