gollem,

you'd expect they'd have learned by now, it seems to me that that is nothing outrageous to expect from THE big OS company.

Maybe they have learned. They have learned that cost benefit of supporting systems that have been "upgraded" from previous version of the OS is vs. convenience of upgrading is negative.

Besides, not many people upgrade their OS. Most of the sales are to OEMs who preinstall the OS. Retail sales, as a percentage of OEM sales is a tiny fraction.
