“Did you actually read the article? It just means they won’t manufacture NEW PCs with an OLD OS on them. Do you think anyone else does that? Does Apple sell Macs with an old version of OS-X on it?
It amazes me how much of the anti-Microsoft sentiment is ignorance-driven propaganda and other forms of misinformation.”
It doesnt matter. Microsoft OWES them, and should continue to sell copies of XP (or some outdated OS) forever and ever.
It’s like someone in 2001, when XP debuted, demanding that MS still sell and support a copy of Windows sold in 1990 because that’s the version where the “icons were the way I liked them”.
Microsoft already does.
XP is imbedded in hundreds of millions of robotics and control devices worldwide.

Oh well, for the non Luddites among us, Windows 10 is a fantastic OS. I am loving it on my Surface Book - first time I've had a "convertible" laptop, but it's really convenient to flip the screen around, or detach it, at times. Will get even better with the upcoming Windows 10 service release.
My son brought his Windows 7 laptop home this weekend. The hard drive was so fragmented and loaded with bloatware, that even the simplest things were agonizingly slow. I did a clean install of Windows 10. He said it was "almost like getting a new laptop".
