I run Windows 7 SP1/Linux perfectly fine on a new Skylake and so does many others, in that case your information is 100% wrong.
I mention in my article that Skylake processors do, indeed, currently work on OS's other than W10... for the time being. The pertinent information from the post:
"Furthermore, Intel�s new Skylake chips, which are already out in the wild, will only receive full support from Microsoft until July 17, 2017. After that time, only �the most critical Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 security updates will be addressed for these configurations, and will be released if the update does not risk the reliability or compatibility of the Windows 7/8.1 platform on other devices.� In other words, you may or may not get the security updates you need."
However, I do hope your guess is correct.
