As another data point, RHEL 5, released two years before Windows 7, apparently has paid support available through 2020.
I agree with you though that migrations increase in pain the longer they're put off.
- WorldMaker 9y agoI looked it up because I was curious. [1] Apples to apples it looks like Windows "extended support" is closer to RHEL "Production Phase 3" support (not to be confused with RHEL's "extended support" which is vaguely "we'll keep the wikis lit and maybe answer if you hear ghosts"), so by that measure RHEL 5 ended "Phase 3" support in March of this year. With Windows 7 getting another 3 years of "Phase 3" support it looks about like RHEL and Windows' timeframes are very similar in this case.
