There has been several cases of people including dropping vendor support along with software and hardware maintenance. Then when they do try to upgrade they are hit with back fees and penalties much more than just paying the current list for the software (which is an option forbidden to them by the vendor). They cry "vendor foul!" even though the vendor, press, this list, etc all have told them.
