My reply here is mostly echoing the linked Reg article but I guess it's worth repeating.
That's very unfortunate and I'm sorry to see it. Whatever happens there's going to be a lot of perfectly good hardware thrown out a lot sooner than was necessary.
I recall back with XP they really wanted to catch up to some of the MacOS interface visuals, but now the draw is probably financial. As the Reg article suggests, they have a big incentive to encourage upgrades as Microsoft is a hardware vendor.
I have a lot of old hardware that I spent extra money on to make sure it was somewhat future-proof, so I'll continue trying to keep it alive by moving to Linux.
