  I wonder how legal would it be for Microsoft to boycott its own product
in order to promote a new version of it.

  (And before anyone answers with a "it's their product, they can do
whatever they like with it", that's definitely not always the case. See
for example the European Union vs. Microsoft on their product called
"Internet Explorer", or the European Union vs. Apple on their product
called "iPod". Just because some company owns a product doesn't mean
they can do whatever they like with it.)
