Never. But it would be wrong for Ford to stop others to fix your car by providing no information about the car, which I believe is what Microsoft is doing with their obsolete Software pieces (including OS).
As that is the case here, They (Microsoft/Ford) are just lending you something, you won't ever own it. Would you agree with that?
- saiya-jin 9y agoYou can either pay very expensive official Ford garages forever, or go to unofficial ones, which is basically reverse engineering. The thing is, for experienced car mechanics, 'reverse engineering' some mechanical part and replacing/repairing it is quite doable. If some CPU burns out in some system, they can't do anything but replace whole unit. So no, you aren't getting better support from Ford, it's just not as complex system to hack yourself. As for agreeing, yes we all did when clicking on that Agree button during installation. Already forgot that part? Why do people assume legal contracts should be normally fiercely enforceable, but when it comes to M$ they should just work forever, outside of their contract that we all agreed upon? Even though they in fact offer paid patching?
