When the suits took over MS
Ever since Bill retired, the suits have been turning MS into Chrysler.
Win 7 does everything most of us need quite well, Win 10 adds nothing significant other than a different style and somewhat worse performance.
If MS was still a quality company, they would continue to support Win 7 until they have a new version that offers significant consumer value, instead of value to the vendor, i.e. the data slurping Win 10 breaks wide open.
Cost is not an issue for MS, they have so much cash, they could easily afford to continue support for Win 7.
What makes it worse if if you read the fine print Win 10 basically says that MS can now decide to erase any software it chooses on your computer and install any software they choose. Would you buy a car with stipulations like that. Just imagine walking out to your Mustang with chrome wheels to find Ford swapped in old lady steel disk wheels with smarmy hubcaps instead on morning.
