>I honestly don't get the story. It sounds like a bullshit excuse for
Microsoft to stop supporting old versions of Windows. I mean, they obviously
have a version of Windows 7 working for this hardware now; what's stopping
them from >continuing to support it?
Well, as always the main drive is profit. Assuming all the versions of
Windows are used as they are by default there is much more personal
information to gather from users of 8.1 and especially 10 compared to the 7
and hence more money to make by selling personal info to anybody willing to
pay for it.
I mean, read the privacy policy of Windows 7 and then read that of Windows 10
and the thing will suddenly get as clear as the bluest sky of deepest summer
to you..
P.S: It is quite a boring but stunning read.. Highly recommended.
