I'd say HTC and AT&T sold you hardware, not MS.

I have the receipt in hand, and at the very top it says "Microsoft Store." I'd say my purchase was in fact from MS.

Pretty sure the folks at the MS store that sold you the thing didn't know the WP8 announcement would end support for new features for your device. In fact, I'd bet that very few folks at AT&T or HTC knew. If you expect that level of "every device gets every new feature", you probably will be happier on iOS.

Oh, I didn't realize they did that now. Sorry.
