Charitably, Microsoft learned from Windows 95 and Windows NT that if you expect users to upgrade on their own they won't do it. So now they are forcing the issue, albeit with bad execution.

Really? I don't see a lot of people running Windows 95 or Windows NT.

The lesson Microsoft should have learned is that if they come out with a genuinely-improved version of Windows, the user base will adopt it in good time without being herded like sheep.

My father told me a computer that I built for one of his customers running windows 95 almost 20 years ago is still running and being used daily.

I don't think they would like windows 10. :p

That computer is probably pretty secure, too, because sometimes security by obscurity really does work.

That doesn't apply here. Obscurity and obsolescence are different. It's a totally normal 486. Nothing weird about it.
