Ominous as it sounds, the
cessation of Windows 7 sales
is right now a mere formality for Microsoft. Seeing how long it took
Microsoft to actually get serious about shutting down XP, Windows 7 may
outlive us all. Nevertheless, cue up the Windows 7 panic buying.
In practical terms, the end-of-retail-sales date has
been an artificial and largely meaningless deadline, as online
retailers have continued to sell packaged copies, sometimes for years,
by restocking through distributors which squirreled away older editions.
