2020, I'm bought

"Security patches will continue to flow until 2020."

Very good, as those are the only things I'm expecting from this Redmond lot. Staying on W7 on my Mac VM until 2020 ... I'm happy with what I paid for W7, with (just) that.

"You've got either a few months – assuming Windows 10 ships by year's end as planned – or five years to find out. ®"

Let's assess the situation every year within the next 5 years, to see if MS finally has a clue on UI, gaming techno, and what not.

After the deadline, the market (gaming, tablet, office, etc ...) will have an answer. I really hope MS will be part of it, but I'm not betting a single E on this ...
