wow....
You just outlined how YOU are the problem for your businesses. Windows 7 IS old technology. It came out in 2010. It doesn't work on a tablet very well at all and the times have changed where phones and tablets are a big part of the future of IT. People that don't adapt will fall by the wayside and IT guys that can't convey this message to the businesses they support will lose out to guys that can.
You can keep windows 7 for 10 years. Nobody is forcing you to move. But good luck selling that to your clients as OS development gets more rapid and robust. And you're missing out on some amazing features that really make Windows 8 easy on IT guys (baked in roaming profiles based on their win live id and skydrive!). Give it a chance before you form such an opinion.
