How Long Will Microsoft Support Windows 7?

The question is of great interest after the news that Microsoft will discontinue to provide support for Windows XP after April 2014 and Windows Vista after April 2017.




 
So what will be the end date for windows 7?
Microsoft’s own website is unanswerable regarding the question as the below mentioned details from the Microsoft’s website reflects:
Desktop operating systems Latest service pack End of Mainstream Support End of Extended Support
Windows XP Service Pack 3 April 14, 2009 April 8, 2014
Windows Vista Service Pack 2 April 10, 2012 April 11, 2017
Windows 7 To be determined To be determined Not applicable
But as per our sources the support for Windows 7 will be provided till the end of 2020, which is obviously ecstatic news for the corporate and business sector as they wont have to migrate to another operating system for a long time once they join Windows 7 community.
