They also lied about the support life-cycle for Windows 8.1. It is in mainstream support for another year, but they are blocking updates on modern, mainstream hardware.

This really is something they should be sued over. Their support cycle is part of the license contract that went with the sale of the OS. Their refusal to follow through is a breach of contract.

The ms-dickery continues. Not surprised.

I knew someone would pull through and get around that BS. Reminds me of the time M$ tried making the Halo 2 PC port Vista only and within days someone had it working on XP.

It was funny that this stunt of theirs ultimately doomed the PC version of Halo 2. Even now, people are still playing the first Halo for the PC online. The second one never got popular, and online support was pulled for it years ago.
