>Didn't XP teach us all a lesson about locked in/legacy software
I would agree with anyone claiming that this is a shitty argument: Users to some extend brought this upon themselves, because given the option people would stay on Windows XP or older.
All the people that are still on Windows XP, their user experience has just gotten better, no longer is Windows nagging them about updates and security fixes.
Microsoft is trying to transition people to rolling upgrades, because users suck at letting go of their old unsafe legacy software. They transitioning in a shitty manor, but I'm not sure they have much choice, other than turn their back to Windows 7 and 8 users.
I have co-workers that when they where upgraded to a later version of Windows on our terminal server wanted to know: Can't we just stay on Windows XP. This is people who try to sell consumers what ever happens to be the fashion this month. People that would like nothing better than customers that swap out everything in their home every six month. Everything except the operating system on the computer apparently.
Yes, Microsoft has made a shitty move, but on the other end of that spectrum is end users that would have you run Windows XP service pack 27.
"because given the option people would stay on Windows XP or older."
"Can't we just stay on Windows XP"
This is awesome because it highlights my point. Users, if given the choice will defer, defer, defer until it's too late. MS should be applauded for "saving users" from themselves.
