Adam, this is plainly untrue for Microsoft, they always supported
upgrading to the next version.
However keep in mind, that in MS case the OS, is *a lot* smaller than
what we have.
They do not give any guarantee that third party apps will keep working
although they *do* do their damn best to make sure they don't break most
important stuff. (By simply not changing interfaces, ABIs, or adding
compatibility libraries in the system).
Simo.
