Nobody is forcing you to upgrade. If you bought Windows 7 and have it on disc you can keep using it, even without installing any updates, ever! Then you can continue enjoying IE7, Windows Media Player, Windows Media Centre - all of which you paid for. But if you want to upgrade to a new version which doesn't have those "features" - then it's your choice. It's not mandatory, nobody is shoving anything in your face.

Windows 7 comes with IE8 by default, IIRC, and you can upgrade it to 11.
WMP was never a great player, but at least it would ship the necessary DVD-reading machinery as well as a license for using it legally.
