Entre las versiones Windows que ya tienen fecha de fin de actualizaciones de manera corriente se encuentran Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 y Windows 7 tanto versiones Home, Enterprise, Professional, Starter y Ultimate con la fecha del 13 de Enero del 2015.

Ahora pasarían a fase de actualizaciones extendidas que solo verán actualizaciones, parchos y todo lo relacionado de seguridad, pero no de desempeño y si acaso se vería algo, seria en el servicio de soporte pagado.

En el caso particular de Windows 7, el soporte final de Microsoft culminara para Enero 2020, así que tienen tiempo todavía pero es como ZDNET nos hacer dar de cuenta, que fue lo mismo con Windows XP solo por el hecho de hacer movimiento para Windows 8 y lo mismo será para Windows 9.
