I doubt it; I can't see how any company can be obliged to continue supporting an obsolete product, unless they were foolish enough to ever promise to do so. I would say it's like expecting Ford to continue to support the Model T, but I have a feeling they do. I could see a company being prevented from deliberately _breaking_ an existing product, however. But you're going to need powerful lawyers, and possibly even a change in the law, to force that through. I do NOT think Windows 10 is ready for the prime time, it's update is absolutely as horrifying as a data doomsday. It will never be ready. it will only get worse. I was perfectly happy running Windows 7, then Microsoft started deliberately destroying its operating system. I have never understood why a company would do this. As well as "to make you buy the new one", it's so they can put an end date on supporting the old one, which costs them money and brings in no income for them. I'm not supporting them in this, of course. -- J. P. Gilliver.
