Re: I don't envy anyone on the WIndows product team
"Look, for example, at the furore at the ending of support for XP after 12 years, or the ending of Windows 7 support after 10 years,"
If either of those had been made "the last Windows ever" as W10is billed I doubt the faithful would have objected. Just maintained it, fixing bugs as discovered, adding support for new H/W (without taking away). It would have meant fewer developers to pay from M/S's PoV and fewer people trying to shoehorn crap into it from the users' PoV.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. If it is broke fix what's broke, don't add more breakage.
