My point is speed of abandonment. Yes FF and Chrome gonna drop XP support real soon at EOL of XP. However the creators of XP are not supporting it. That's my point. MS has a history (not even contradicted once yet) of not supporting operating systems that are not the latest and greatest. I bet Win 7 wont be supported by newer IE versions in a year.
Which means IE11 may be great, but we're stuck with it forever just like we're stuck with IE8, etc.
And if you code for DX12, you will be abandoning like >50% of your audience, so nobody will code for it. Just like DX11 is only now gaining real steam.

How long should they be supporting an OS? You can't expect them to support it forever. No one complains that older phones aren't supported anymore, any is the case for XP so special?
