The problem is they aren't as stable as we'd like them to be. Computers wear out, and I don't mean just the hard drives or fans. Look up "tin whiskering" in Wikipedia. At some point the hardware that replaces the blown bits in the case will require the later software. People are often forced into upgrades they don't want for purely hardware-vendor planned obsolescence. It's a pretty big lever they use to pry money out of you. I use W7 and I'm happy with it. My customers are happy with it. We will switch to W8 or later at such time as it can be sufficiently and reliably determined that the pipes of hell have frozen shut.
