In the meanwhile I agree with you.  Businesses obviously don't have any choice but to upgrade to Windows 10 and what a lovely lucrative business has been created for the hardware companies as I guess the upgrade to Windows 10 would also include upgrades to more up to date hardware that is completely compatible with Windows 10.

Agree about this. Business will spend their money to keep their software up to date, especially for security (which is an "issue" for Windows 7). They don't want to lose their data because of viruses. Some workers that may not be to fluent to use computer can harm the computer itself if the security inside is not high enough to protect them. Losing data means losing more money too.

Alternative is using Linux but I believe this is hard to do since we need to teach them how to do in Linux. Also if one are using Microsoft Office, one should relearn Libre Office which is a lot different from Ms Office. It is possible to use Google's service like Docs and Spreadsheet but since it's web-based then we will need to learn new shortcut for each function.
