For me, Windows 7 is the best OS of all time. If, 18 years after it was released, many people can still use XP, what about the crores of people who use 7? Many people will not want to upgrade, so this end-of-support thing means nothing to them.

They're doing what they did to XP. After 2020 MS will pull the plug on 7, then eventually developers like Google and Mozilla will stop their browser updates for 7. And then 7 will die like XP.

Then MSFT will create worm and Ransomware to push people for upgrade

Both XP and 7 are the company's most popular OSes of all time, so they—particularly 7—will be very hard to kill.

Most offices in India still uses Windows 7 anyway.

It'll actually die when Mozilla and Google decide to pull to plug on browser updates for 7.

Starting on January 15, 2020, a full-screen notification will appear that describes the risk of continuing to use Windows 7 Service Pack 1 after it reaches end of support on January 14, 2020. The notification will remain on the screen until you interact with it.
