Back on topic. (Formatting is working right now so I'm just spacing everything).
Microsoft not supportting them is all due to "security" is crap and everyone knows it.
What's likely happening here is in my opinion as follows. It's neither fact nor accusatory, disclaiming that should MS read this one random comment and yell slander.
Microsoft has made it clear that Windows is more or less an OS as service now, pretty much offering it for free.
So how do you recoup your money?
Artificially limit the hardware that can run it while ending support for your older OS. This eliminates a large number of computers for updates.
You put news out that support is ending. Outlets report on it, more so as the date nears. Technology ignorant people will panic and turn their perfectly good hardware (for their use) into e-waste and rush out to buy new hardware, the trap.
Meanwhile MS makes a deal with manufactures to charge more for Windows on new hardware but assuring greater sales, possibly with a reduced cost if a threshold isn't met. A win-win for both. Microsoft maintains dominance outside of Apple and more hardware is sold by the big names.
Did I not have enough caffeine yet (or maybe to much)? Possibly.
But Microsoft does not have the users security or best interests in mind as they claim, they never have and now all the sudden they do outside of security patches which are usually for their own security holes?
Microsoft is a business and businesses have their own interests in mind, profits. The security is in my opinion a front for something else. Otherwise Windows wouldn't have have telemetry let alone that new the feature *just insert the entire -Every Breath You Take- lyrics here.
The very definition of anti-security and definitely not privacy.
If that's all bigfoot and Hersheykiss hat talk so be it but that's my theory. And my God that turned out long. I've already used up my internet privileges for the day.
