Windows 7 RTM End Of Support
Comments
-
I was referring to XP which M$ were actively allowing licences to be sold mid 2011 at least. They should have stopped their resellers from distributing it if they were not willing to support it.0

The official end of sale was 2006. Anyone who chose to buy XP 5 years later should have known exactly what they were getting into. It would be like buying a "new" car that's been sat on the dealer forecourt for five years, sure you can register it with an 11 plate but don't be too surprised if parts stop being available after 5 years.
I mean, sure I can understand it when the alternative was pre-SP1 Vista but in 2011 you had Win7 SP1 available, so no excuse.0
