Hehe. W7 is like XP, Vista, 2K, etc. now. :P

There is no need to die of withdrawal symptoms when something is
withdrawn from the public. You can continue using XP and Windows 7 as
long as you want to to satisfy your hunger for old technologies. I said
as long as you want to because some of you might be concerned that the
hardware will die soon. You can avoid this by buying exactly the same
make and model of your current hardware parts and when something dies
you simply replace it with what you buy today.

Building a machine or to rebuild a machine is not a big problem as some
you might think. Just go and buy:

Main mother Board of the same model you currently have
Buy spare cables just in case needed in the future
Buy a hard disk ( or two or three) of the same type you are currently using
Buy a floppy drive if you are still using it
Buy a spare DVD drive to match your current drive
Buy spare floppies and CD/DVD media for future use
Make copies of your current software package media - CDs, DVDs,
Floppies etc
Make hard copies of serial numbers
And finally create an image of your current hard drive and save it
somewhere safe if needed in the future.

Of course, you need to keep all these purchases safe so that they are
not damaged. you'll need them in 20 years time to continue using your
beloved XP and Windows 7 operating system and related software
packages. You might not be able to use any websites but hey it is not
important as long as you've got your XP and Windows 7 still running.

Problem solved. Now print this out and read several times so that you
can memorise it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now stop crying about these things.
