    Microsoft lied, when they announced Windows 10 they said it would be the last windows version ever. That’s false advertisement and they should not be allowed to do it.

    Also forcing arbitrary requirements for compatibility (that can be disabled so they are not real requirements) in order to buy new devices needlessly should not ne allowed.

      But “should not be allowed” and “is illegal” are two very different things. The same is true for false advertisement, that’s a very tough thing to proof - legally.

      Don’t get me wrong: I agree that it is and was wrong - I just don’t see a way to legally get Andy consequences out of this anywhere in the western world (which is the only world MS cares about for windows).
