Unnecessarily derogatory?
editMicrosoft may be a prominent example of setting EOL dates, but doesn't 'notorious' imply that seting EOL dates is a bad thing? If a business is expected to support its products indefinitely, that incurs continuous expense with diminishing returns, thus raising expenses in other areas. This is bad both for the business and the consumers, to whom the expense of perpetual support almost certainly falls. --Mattmcc 21:35, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
