To me, this is the 'bothersome' part: =============== It's unclear exactly how the supported lifetimes and associated deferrals will affect customers: Microsoft has said nothing about what happens after the lifetime expires, including whether upgrades would be discontinued entirely or would be available for a fee. It's possible, then, that after, say, four years -- if Microsoft defines a notebook's lifetime at that length -- Windows 10 will no longer be automatically upgraded for free. =============== MS can make fixes past the lifetime of a product. Usually those are for those with a support contract that corporations might take. Whatever they report they get fixed. Other users do not get those fixes (unless they are security based). I also can see the OEM's reporting the device they put it on, but not consumers who buy Retail packages (but it could report back to MS the device it installs on during install I guess?). Interesting times, but this could be the start or foundation of OS's sold as subscriptions. Not clear at all?
