Some did not install for a long time after the first versions came about. Secondly, whilst you may think there are reasons to throw away a machine that works perfectly well and I am asuming you have the financial resources, many have not nor need to do so!

There is no easy way to migrate to 10 for example, there are still many Bsods and only techies can solve them often. For example someone using the machine as a purely on internet device and word processor and say skype the machine works well and reliably. Why change. The attitude taken is similar to that of cars but the difference being that by law car manufacturers have to supply bits from the last day of production.

How about doing THAT. If upgrading were easy then your comment would be possibly valid, but it is not, also stuff does not run on For information 7 had so many problems it was taken off sale in some areas and did not go on sale eg France until mid Even then in many areas Vista was on sale for another year due to problems with 7 as someone who has built and installed quite a few machines found that new machines with manufacturers warranty and boards made after jan were sold with Vista so that brings it down to about 5 years.

Or are you suggesting that the suppliers never got the Vista from MS. Mine was from I downloaded the vista update files, told these are not valid.

I agree wholeheartedly with those who have already commented. The difference is.. Those who didn't or don't, generally aren't around to talk about it for very long. Lesson learned. I can almost guarantee you that a great deal of time and effort went into trying, in vain, to figure out the presumed problems behind the hundreds of "failed" update attempts.

I certainly know that I am included in that wasted time.. I can see that you're an accomplished man, Mr. Da Costa, so you are probably a reasonable one as well. If you would be so good as to advise your peers, on our behalf, that there are many of us out here "hanging" because we're trying to conduct business just like you are.. Don't you think at least partial assistance toward the purchase of one of those more up-to-date devices to which you refer might be a nice gesture for our troubles Details required : characters remaining Cancel Submit 8 people found this comment helpful.

Hopefully you are of course making it that those with Vista can just redo Vista if they have the disc and not make it that one cannot do a reinstall. To stop the reinstallation of the software in the event of a glitch will certainly put MS in the "F U I am a bxxxxxd". Sure it does not comply with current emission status, but are you aware of the ecological impact of scrapping it and buying something not as good, for a lot more money, that does not what i want to do. OK so charge for the update if you so desire, but better would be to make sure that updates work with all your previous fare.

Lets be honest, some things like replacement lamps, tyre, fan belts and the like are still available for cars 80 years old, is it too much to ask that MS allow newer programs to keep on running as some programs developed for Vista, and I have 2 that I paid for will not run on later versions, yet in conjunction with MS were not even available for several years after Vista became available. It is bad business to upset those that have habitually used your products, a very good way to encourage a new competitor on the block and certainly encourage a migration to a newer competitor who may have learnt lessons!

Just something that is passing my mind. Take empires, Greek, gone and now in a state of just Greece hanging on, Rome, Italy is in the Merde, so is France, and Germany lost hers. The UK is about to commit Hari Kari and is now about to fall on its sword to the extent that the Union jack be a thing of the past. Businesses are the same. MS will soon break up again with bits hanging in and on like skype.
