Re: Shock Horror new CPUs won't support 7 year old OS
"I really don't see what the problem is. Do you really expect Microsoft to support future hardware that will be manufactured 7 or more years after the initial release of Windows 7."
Well, this is going to be a problem with W10 MS will be having in spades in a few years time, particularly as it is supposed to be the last version of Windows...
Working through the details of what has been announced, I suspect that during 2017 we will see a NEW!!! edition of Windows '10' (10R2 ?) that will not run on the MS defined 'legacy' cpu platforms, so that MS only has a single single (x64 ?) code-base to maintain for Win '10'.
