[QUOTE="bellgamin, post: 986158, member: 56053"] In several ways. I shall name just 3 ways of forced obsolescence. To wit: 1- Automatically installing Windows 10 over a previous version without notifying the user, 2- Ceasing to support older versions (I can still get parts for a '57 Chevvy of Ford, but not for Win7), 3- Spreading FUD that people who do not upgrade to the very latest Windows version will SURELY get hacked/infected (there are still several who vehemently spread such FUD at my "other" favorite security forum).
