    We’re not talking about support, we’re talking about not breaking the software we bought after the fact.

      It would not be onerous for them to continue supporting a couple of old versions of Windows, they would just have to hire a few more people to do it.

      You literally did say support.

        Yes, they can have their software continue to support Windows by simply not breaking the version that works for windows, without having to provide full customer support and service for it.
