The only support you'll need is 8.1 and that will be around a while.

Unless of course a security issue pops up and Microsoft issues an 8.1.1 or 8.2 and it doesn't work on the unit because of some weird driver issue and HP doesn't care because they've abandoned the product line due to financial losses.
Disclaimer: Before some of you (you know who you are) get all defensive and start accusing me of all forms of heresy and fanbois-isms, R-E-L-A-X!!! I'm not suggesting its a bad tablet or it should not be purchased or used. I'm simply pointing out the possible reality based on the economics (and similar histories) in an effort to temper expectations. No more, no less.

We already know Microsoft doesn't; OEMs now get the license for free for 7" devices and smaller.

That wouldn't be any different than most Android tablets then. I have a Coby stuck at 2.2, an Acer at 4.2, and I'm not holding my breath for being able to upgrade my Dell from 4.4 to 5.0. There's Cyanogenmod, but that's not manufacturer support, which is what we're discussing.

Assuming you were there? How was the game?
It is an entirely different game from the American version.

Assuming? You calling me a liar?
The game was great. Would have been better if the hometown BC Lions had made the game.
It went right down to the final seconds before we knew who won.

Moved south almost 16 years ago; lost touch with when the big game happens.
Glad you could be there for it.

They broke the cup again!!!!
What an end-game!!!! Hamilton lost it by a simple foul.
I'd rather be phishing!

A 90 yard kickoff return for the winning TD with seconds left in the game, only to have it called back because of a illegal block.
If I wasn't cheering for Calgary I would have been quite disappointed.

"The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking for a suitable language." Donald Knuth, 1967 I ask for your ideas unashamedly, knowing that amongst you, passing as regulation-issue geeks and nerds, are prognosticators, platitudinissimi, and psychics, as well as comedians whose arts range in shade from black to procul-harum-whiter-shade-of-pale.
So, may I ask you, rhetorically, with great tenderness, and ... let me reassure you ... no hoist-you-on-your-own-petard intentionality: "haven't you already imagined ... even made notes for ... the next great programming language, or thought of the Name-of-Names for this wonder ?"
So, if it's not too presumptuous to ask, and wouldn't constitute the equivalent of a pre-launch leak that would scuttle your ship of dreams whilst it was still in drydock:
What's the Name ?
p.s. If you'll kindly read the sig just below, I invite you to think of what would have happened if Kay had opted for MOP, rather than OOP.
«OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. » Alan Kay's clarification on what he meant by the term "Object" in "Object-Oriented Programming."

"Edible Basic" sounds better - or could at least be more easily digested!

I like "HOPE" !
What does the "E" stand for ? "Enthusiasm" ? "Elegance" ? "Exoteric" ? "Exotic" ? "Érotisme" ?
And, it would be like so cool if HOPE had a scripting language named HOP, with primitives like SKIP, JUMP, FORGOTTOSAYMAYI that made some of the powerful, and complex, patterns in HOPE usable by mere mortals 
All, kidding aside: you have expressed some visionary ideas/insights about programming on CP over the years, and shown some very useful techniques for rendering C# more usable in the "functional way."
I'd like to see you, Anders, Mads, Andrew T., Eric L., Jon S., Miguel de I, Pete O', Sacha B, isolated in a rural cabin (with no internet, or telephone) for a month, and see what new language would emerge ! CodeProject could cover lawyer/legal expenses in case of divorce following your emergence, or other lawsuits, homicide defense costs, etc.

BLOOD

Just so I can tell people it's written in Blood.

I would SO MUCH learn that language and force my entire company to adopt it as official language and rewrite the whole codebase in BLOOD.
Also I would call the coding phase as SACRIFICE. This software was sacrificated in BLOOD. Damn it sounds good.
