Windows 9 actually translates to "Windows No" which means no more Windows. So Windows 7 was the last version Microsoft will support. Microsoft is not going to make any more Windows....just doors.

Microsoft has plans to end support within the next year

Actually not until 2020.

I thought it was sooner then that...

The problem with rodent infestations is that you can never be completely rid of them. A bit like Windows 9, and Moon Landing deniers.

You insult rodents. More like cockroaches or herpes.

Yes. My apologies to rodents. You are right; more like a cockroach with Herpes!

Seriously, whatever MS is paying you to do marketing for them, it's too much.

OK, I know I give Microsoft a hard time a lot, and many people think I hate them. But I only give them grief out of ![Heart | [heart]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/love.gif) .
Whoever thought Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 CTP 1[^] is a valid name for a product needs a series of good, firm strikes about the head and shoulders. That's IBM-naming quality.

And since when did CTP become a 'norm' in the development cycle.
Alpha, Beta, CTP, RTM
CTP used to be an interim release to 'show-off' up and coming products, now it appears to have become lifecycle.
|
|
|
|
|
And Microsoft have their own names:
Traditional name MS name:
Alpha == Beta
Beta == RTM
CTP == Service Pack
RTM == Next version.

Working by contract via a company - is it good or bad?
Someone with experience?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Now you trapped yourself!  You have to list all the good and all the bad factors...

It can be - there is often good money and freedom from company politics but there is an overhead in managing your own taxes and complying with company law.

Do you mean if I work for a company of which my work is on a contract? If so, if the contract goes south for the winter, and they have no other contract to stick you on, then you could get laid-off. Of which, I have experience.
So, yes it can be bad. However, while it is not bad, it can be good.

Worked at a site as a contractor for 7 years, then switched to employee. Stayed there another 5 years.
Now a contractor again (for almost 3 years) at a different site.
My experience has been positive.
When I left the previous position, it was to take the position I'm in now, and that is a position I wanted 20 years ago, but the opportunity never materialized. I didn't want to wait another 20 years to see what happens.

It mostly depend on the company you want to work for and you should be careful what contract do you sign. Especially if it is long term contract. For example make sure there are any (paid) vacations for you because if contract doesn't say anything there won't be any
