   Stuff like this should not be legal?

   Isn’t it illegal? It’s actual false advertising. You can sue them, it’s just no one has.

      What exactly is illegal here? Providing an update to a supported OS in last two years?

         Advertising ten years of support, then, post-purchase of the device, reducing that period by 2 years.

            Except that they didn't reduce the period, they'll migrate people to new OS.

               May own pessimism (based on Google's history) aside, I would argue that while it may fulfill the words of the promise, it surely doesn't fulfill the intent: ChromeOS is a different beast than GooglebookOS. ffs, Google just spent a lot of effort publicizing exactly that.
