For comparison, MS only ended support for Windows XP in 2014. That was over 12 years after its release.

Most distros only take a few gig of space at most.
If we were talking 2001, I would be inclined to agree. But these computers are only 5 years old. The socks I'm wearing are older than that.
I hear there are lots of distros to choose from.
Their thinking was that they hated hippies and liked kicking the shit of them. I think that's about as far as they thought it through.
No, the SJWs point out, rightly, that the 1st Amendment doesn't cover private companies. This only happens because the libertards brought up the 1st Amendment in the first place, because they love to scream about it even though they don't quite understand what it says or means (see also the 2nd Amendment).
Your post taught me several things I didn't know, including:
1) Freedom of speech is the only one of the constitutional rights that's not considered a civil right
2) It's okay for a restaurant or any other business to post signs saying "Blacks and Jews may not talk in this place of business."
Have you considered lecturing at law schools?
Yeah, that was my point. They're adopting the very same arguments their traditional opponents have used with no sense of irony.
Three.
One to wreck the beach and two to sit back in the coffee house loudly bragging to everyone that they don't even *OWN* a television.
Freedom of speech can only be affected by the government
The SJW's who say "A private company isn't obligated to respect your civil rights" whenever some social site censors "hate speech" see no irony at all in the fact that this is the exact same argument that restaurants and landlords used in the 1960's to exclude minorities.
Another favorite is "Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences." My grandfather and uncle used to say that exact same phrase when they talked about beating up Vietnam-protesting hippies.
You're going to need better fences.
That 4.7 was a spooge-sucking cunt who should HAVE TO SUCK THORNY DILDOS IN HELL!
I know it's hard to believe, and for the longest time I actually thought this to have become outlawed, but there are allegedly still students in college trying to learn something rather than expecting something to be handed to them for crying "oppression".
I hope they're still the vast majority, and I hope that their well-earned degrees aren't cheapened by the special snowflakes who think the university owes them a degree because victim.
Agreed. Most of the people who I knew in college who needed any sort of extra counseling or hand-holding were people who probably shouldn't have been in college to begin with. Of course, that was back in a time when it was okay to NOT go to college, and kids were actually honestly told that not everyone belonged in college. These days, every kid, no matter how stupid or ill-equipped for college, has to be told that he's a special snowflake who can do anything and everything.
Where no one ever questioned them or enslaved them to "grades," "attendance," and other forms of oppressive white patriarchy.
Don't worry. This is MS we're talking about. Though the idea itself could give them a huge advantage over Sony and Nintendo, you can bet that their implementation of it will be such a pain in the ass to setup and use that any advantage will be wasted. MS ain't exactly Apple when it comes to simplicity or ease-of-use. Just try navigating the already ridiculously over-cluttered Xbox UI sometime, trying to figure out how to do even the simplest task.
