As someone already pointed out, 'support' is an overloaded term. They
'support' upgrades the same way we 'support' upgrades - they provide an
upgrade mechanism for you to hang yourself with. As was clarified later,
the point is that they don't guarantee it will work,
[citation needed]
I can't believe that they were selling something "windows X upgrade"
without supporting it at all.
That's like selling a car and telling the customer "it might not move
at all in that case you are on your own sorry".
