And I’m afraid that it’s an indication of things to come: It started with FOS, where ‘out of support’ was made to mean “we have deliberately broken use with IE6”, moved on to Adobe Flash, ‘by out of support, we mean Denial of Service’, and MS has read the winds of change.

It’s a 20 year old piece of software. How long do they need to keep their activation service active for? Forever?
