If you look at the XP legacy problem that makes sense these days. If you want MS to support your snowflake of a system then that costs money.

- eddieroger 10y agoAre you calling XP a snowflake? One of the most popular releases of Windows? There's nothing wrong with enterprises saying they wanted to stay on a version of Windows, just like there's nothing wrong with Microsoft saying they no longer want to support it, but that hardly makes XP a snowflake. Microsoft can certainly try to flip pricing to earn a profit, but they have to understand that it comes at the risk of alienating users.
