SpartanVXL: Now MS might change this in the next major version release, but what happened before was that all people had to do was get the next versions iso and do the upgrade with bypass again.
That procedure is way beyond the average consumer. The bigger problem is the average consumer will not even realize updates have stopped. Will the companies selling this gear provide support for that process? Unlikely because that would be uneconomic and the warranty provided for secondhand machines is usually between 90 days and 12 months.
On the plus side for an affected unwarned consumer it is covered by CGA imo.
I like that all this perfectly good gear is being given a second life. It is not good that consumers are not warned about this significant limitation when buying affected machines.
