\"\"Windows 7 is still omnipresent in most offices around
\nthe world. The reason is that all these offices refuse
\nto replace a perfectly good-running OS with Windows 10
\nas it also means to change the common software library.<\/p>\n

The problem with most older software titles is that they’re not well-integrated into Windows 10 and thus tend to make trouble under the hood of Microsoft’s new OS.<\/p>\n

As with Windows XP, Windows 7 will be one of the longest-supported OS these days (14 years to be exact). But the extended support time is only for users operating Windows 7 Professional or Enterprise with a volume license. And each additional year will be more expensive.<\/p>\n

Microsoft tries to move system admins to upgrade to Windows 10 as it “is more solid than ever before” according to Microsoft.<\/p>\n

Fact is that Windows 10 still doesn’t get the acceptance Windows 7 has received in the past. Users are annoyed of the new Metro design and also big tiles replacing tiny icons is not what many users want. Windos 10 allows a boot directly to the desktop with the classic items yet that has to be activated separately.<\/p>\n

Also Windows 10 refuses to run certain apps that run perfectly under the hood of Windows 7.<\/p>\n

So with the Extended Support, some system administrators might express a sigh of relief… for now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
