Maybe a few more years would have been good but I can't really blame Microsoft for requiring modern hardware support eventually.

They don't allow to install their next OS on capable hardware. This is not fine.

Neither does Apple or Google. I'm not saying it's great but singling out Microsoft here when they're actually the best option out there (apart from Linux) seems silly.

I'm not "singling out Microsoft". I reply about Windows in a topic about GNU/Linux. So I compare them.

Most people on HN disagree with you, judging by comments here.
