The article calls that out explicitly:

When installing on unsupported hardware, Microsoft will push a small disclaimer that effectively cancels your warranty in case of compatibility-related mishaps. Likewise, you won't be entitled to receiving updates - including security updates - so we're back to square one.

What is the point in upgrading if you wont get security upgrades either way. Just more spyware and ads in the newer version.
