"For example, the factory next door to us bought them selves a spiffy new moulding machine , the price... about 500 000 pounds, now imagine that in 3 years time , m$ go fsck you we're not supporting your OS anymore , upgrade or else, and the machine is rendered useless."

Someone bought a GBP500,000 molding machine that is tied to an obsolete operating system?

And what did the device manager pay for that operating system? If it were Windows, $25?

I think the quarrel is with a device maker ripping the customer off by providing an inappropriate operating system to save money.
