It was only 8 months ago when my firm replaced my Windows XP machine. We don't use Windows 8.x. Fortunately, we have pretty good in-house support. As long as they're still providing security updates we'll be ok.
I had to upgrade to Windows 8.1 at home so I'm frustrated but covered there.
Microsoft has ended Windows 7 mainstream support (free help and support) and will no longer release any new features for it. Read article here and see Windows Lifecycle fact sheet here

-- No, because I don't use Windows 7.
