Mainstream support of Windows 7 ends today (Jan. 13th).
It is not.
Leaving mainstream support only means that Windows 7 won't be receiving any new features or product tweaks, such as the impressing-sounding DirectX 12 gaming technology slated to launch with Windows 10. You won't be able to call Microsoft for free help if you run into an issue with Windows 7 either.
Security patches will still be available along with Hotfixes (as long as they are security related). Extended support for Windows 7 lasts until January 14, 2020.
Commercial PC's will still be sold with Windows 7 Professional for the foreseeable future.
