Right, you can buy extended support for Windows 7. In the same spirit you may find a developer that's willing to keep gnucash running on Windows 7 for you as well for a price. We won't do it in our volunteer free time as we don't get enough return on investment on it (in non-currency terms, like advancement of the project, developer satisfaction,...)
Again as I said, we're not actively breaking gnucash on Windows 7 yet, so I expect it to still run just fine for quite a while. Heck it might even still run ok on Windows XP for all I know. However if at some point we have to make a change that would break Windows 7 (because we start using some code that doesn't run on it) we will simply do so. As of 4.x there will no longer be the "runs on Windows 7" stamp of approval.
