To be honest, bugging these users means hopefully they'll bug their IT
managers to finally get their fucking asses in the 2010s and stop being
irresponsible. I won't lose any sleep over annoying them...

However, there's two other groups who would be annoyed/confused by such
banners:

* Parents/grandparents who got their Windows XP laptop 12 years ago and
don't know how to upgrade--nor do they care, as long as they can check
their e-mail and print pictures :)
* People in lower-income locales for whom upgrading is a cost-prohibitive
endeavor
