Keysight officially lost the plot - don't buy if you're a hobbyist

My very recent (last month) experience with Keysight support was very positive... More likely the problem is that some people simply have poor communication skills and therefore ended up on the 'ignore' stack at the support department.
Better make sure you buy the equipment with the best fit for the task at hand. Otherwise you'll just be contorting yourself.

Keysight with his current policy practically put the resale value of their test equipment close to zero; by not recommending, you serve the interest of your employer, since the competition holds value much better.

Nonsense. Companies buy test equipment to make a profit from the functionality, not resale value. In some cases test equipment is written as part of a single project. Test equipment devaluates faster than a car. Even when test equipment is sold, it is bought by other companies like used test equipment dealers that sell to businesses. This whole thread smells more and more like a hoax to me.

KS do not support not commercial customer anymore. Personally I do not like it, I think it is not a smart move for everybody involved.
For every wrong choice there are consequences. It is very simple, there are no hoax or other animals here.
Yes I gave my private money (a lot) in the past to KS.

Speak for yourself; what you say, doesn't applies to EVERY situation; since the resale value can contribute to purchase decision, especially with lean manufacturing(don't ask me how I know, since is under NDA); renting wasn't an option(1.5year project time rent=2Xpurchase price).
