Our dear Windows XP died some time, there's quite an amount of applications that don't work on it anymore. That's because it is Windows NT 5.2, many relying libraries are not supported anymore, et cetera. But now, I'm wondering, what will happen with Windows 7? So far, it's the best made Microsoft piece of software. And it is called Microsoft NT 6.1, while Microsoft just released Microsoft NT 10 (Windows 10), would that be a sign that in near future (5 years), Windows 7 will become as disfunctional as Windows XP now has become? After all Windows XP got outdated because of very old shell which was incompatible with latest software, but Windows 7 should be still doing pretty well, since it knows how the new technologies of Microsoft work, so Windows 7 should still be working for next 20 years, shouldn't it?
