I think that the more likely reason is that many corporate security standards (think PCI compliance etc etc) are starting to blanket ban SHA-1, and it was cheaper to switch away from it than continue having to carve out policy exceptions with their large customers who are on support contracts for Win7

If there is no Win7 support for SHA-2, why can't they add just add support for it?
Because they don't want people using 7 anymore I guess?
