  1. Windows 7 is still so popular because of: * Windows 8 has new Metro interface. It's more hated than early versions of GNOME 3 in Linux comminity. * Windows 10 collecting a lot of private user data. Yes you can disable 95% of that, but many users were spooked and don't want to mess with that. * Windows 10 costs money so not everyone wants to buy it. There was a possibility to update from Windows 7 up to Windows 10 FOR FREE but not everyone wants to do that. Clean installation is better. * Windows 10 have the same system requirements as Windows 7, but in reality it needs more system resources. And some people have shitty PCs. * Some Windows 7 users are actualy companies. And they don't care. And it's expensive for them.
