The OS works. It just doesn’t support old software well if at all.

Much of the “old” software I’m talking about was written 10+ years ago and there are no replacements for. Specifically they are engineering programs designed to solve specific engineering problems.

For all the normal things people do there are few issues.

For anyone who primarily uses the software that comes with the computer or software that is downloaded off the Web that is current it isn’t a problem.

There is a difference.

Thanks for playing into a pun-derful support of the analogy.

How many guys trade in the wife for a different model due to "old *soft*ware" on their own part, if you catch my drift?

Point taken on the engineering software.

Cheers!
