Window 7.x?
It seems that Win7 and Win8 have taken different roads. Will 7 evolve
into 7.1, .2, or whatever? That is, will it be improved for years to come? |

Products that aren't in mainstream support don't get service packs or incremental versioned upgrades. http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=14481 There's only 8 months left for mainstream support of Windows 7. After that you get updates (not upgrades), patches, and security fixes. Maybe Microsoft will come out with another and last service pack for Win7 but I'll let your hold /your/ breath for it. |

Start enter CMD in search box R-Click CMD.EXE run as Administrator winver Winkey + R is quicker but I usually forget to do it that way. |

Extended support provides patches and security updates. The former primarily for compatability, reliability and occasional robust hardening. Evolution of 7 is done. Focus is on 8x and later. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

In that context, what is meant by an "upgrade"? I have always associated that term with, for example, a change from XP to Vista or Win7, or more particularly something like Win7HP to Pro or Ultimate. Those "upgrades" were never part of the specific OS already being run, and cost money! What upgrades have there been within Win7HP, for example? Are you perhaps referring to IE9 - IE10 - IE11? -- Jeff |
