This article seems to think it is the end of the world but by the time most machines reach that point they will be long gone.

Average computer life is 4 years or less no way you are going to be on hard ware old enough to be phased out by then my bet is it would be closer to 8-10 year old hardware this will affect and if you junk is that old you don't care about updates anyway.

This will likely affect under 1% of Windows users.

Part of the reason many people think windows sucks is because they don't make the hardware requirements tough enough and manufacturers put out machines that can't run windows forget about installing more software on top.

Apple.does not have this problem their machines always have enough hardware to ensure the OS has enough horse power to run smoothly. It is a big reason why so many like apple . Makes windows look bad but they have no one to blame but themselves for allowing people to put out machines with hardware below minimum specs or setting their minimums way too low.
