OH NO! MICROSOFT IS DROPPING SUPPORT FOR AN OUTDATED OPERATING SYSTEM!
This is unprecedented!
F@&$ this, I'm never upgrading my computer again!
*Dusts off old computer with Windows 98 installed again*
In protest, I'm using this forever now. Them stopping support for it is simply heinous. I shouldn't be forced to upgrade!

DirectX 10 didn't work on Windows XP - presumably to push people into getting Windows Vista, rather than due to any technical limitations. Do you expect Microsoft to adopt a business model where you buy one operating system and never give them any money ever again? Fortunately most game developers will want their games to run on the maximum possible number of machines, so the majority will still be compatible with Windows 7 as long as that remains popular.

I wouldn't mind seeing Android ported onto desktop systems. Really you could do the same with Linux, but Android has so many phone and tablet users.
What made Windows big (the fact that end users only want to deal with one OS) could kill it as well.
Just depends on how things play out. But I think it would be a positive thing to have the basic OS people use to be out of the hands of a single company.

My 98 box works wonderfully.
