While the nightmare of the end of support for Windows XP is still "fresh", the Microsoft issued today a warning that will disrupt its customers. The company in a few words announced the support fee for a range of products, including Windows 7, Office 2010 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008.
Redmond today released a bulletin to alert that support for many of its products will stop, and advises its users to upgrade to a newer version as soon as possible.
There is no doubt that at this time and after the end of support for Windows XP, Windows 7 is the number one operating system on the market. So Microsoft's warning about ending support for publications enterprise, Enterprise N, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Professional N, Starter, Start N, Ultimate, and Ultimate N on January 13, 2015 is sure to cause "upheaval".
Although these versions of Windows 7 are likely to receive extensive support for 5 for extra years, Microsoft says it is recommended that you upgrade as soon as possible to make sure you are completely secure.
Φυσικά, το επερχόμενο λειτουργικό σύστημα Windows 9 θεωρείται ότι θα παίξει καθοριστικό ρόλο στη στρατηγική της Microsoft και για το που θα κινηθούν οι χρήστες. Τα Windows 8 μάλλον απογοήτευσαν με την αφαίρεση του Start button, και υπάρχουν πολλοί που περιμένουν την επόμενη κίνηση της εταιρείας. Το επόμενο λειτουργικό θα πρέπει να είναι αρκετά δελεαστικό για να προσελκύσει κόσμο.
But do not worry. Read this too Why should not I care about the Windows 7 support fee

And also, this is not something new. We have known this since almost when win7 came out. Well they called you stupid from below…
Where did you read "wake up" for the end of support? Do you not speak English? For switching to Extended Support, it states that it has to do with 5-year support and includes a security update, etc.
