Literally no one is throwing away a working machine just because some deadline passes.

yes. yes they are. we've taken in a lot more 'junk' systems over the last six months than we ever have.

many of those who aren't tossing their pc on the heap are paying for the updates or jumping through the link-and-sync bullshit for them.

microsoft's scare tactics work, and work very well.
