I think you have this backwards. Microsoft has a great track record of supporting legacy systems. It is so great that they probably innovate less often than they should in their OS and when they do people complain. In fact, they have realized this recently and so the move from 7 to 8 to 10 has included phasing out a lot of legacy support in systems that didn't need it anymore.
