This is so well stated that it bears repeating, IMO.

<< Those still running Windows 3.1 on ancient PCs are generating revenue for nobody except PC repair shops. At some point such "customers" become more a liability than an asset. Such penny-wise-pound-foolish attitudes are increasingly out of step with the realities of business in the 21st century. Businesses who view IT as a pure cost are unlikely to fare well against competitors who view it as a strategic asset, so it makes very good business sense for IT vendors to align themselves with the latter group. >>

If you need nothing more than word processing, and Windows 3.1 satisfies that need, there's nothing "pound foolish" about staying with it.

Most people don't buy a new stereo every two years, either, even though newer ones continue to add features. In fact, retro is in.

JMHO.
