This is common in most commercial software, you don't own it, you simply agree with the publisher to use it. Also please don't call it spying.
RIP Windows 7

Funny...
Two of my doctor's large medical practices still use W7.
They say that it's more stable.

interesting side thought; what happens if a customer complains about that? Would they have any leverage, under data protection acts etc to keep data safe and secure, to force them to move to a non-obsolete OS?

In case anyone is interested, the free update to 10 from 7 still works. I just updated my girlfriend's HP laptop running Win 7 Pro this morning, and it (mercifully) went very smoothly - and, it was activated! I wonder if MS is ever going to crack down on free updates. Anyway, it's done.

IMO? It'll be around for a long while. It's great PR, helps appease the Win 7 crowd (don't mean that negatively), and costs them nothing. Why wouldn't they? It's in their best interest to move as many as possible to the current supported version.In case anyone is interested, the free update to 10 from 7 still works.
