Thanks for sharing that Mark. I wasn't aware that Microsoft had this
program.

My company recently announced that we are dropping official support for
Windows 7 with our next desktop update. We won't stop it from working but
we will no longer test new features on it. We haven't had anybody write
back requesting that we continue to support it. As a reference, our
customer base is made up of small to medium businesses as well as larger
corporations.
