I agree, this is excellent! Honestly, shame on Microsoft that these sorts of things have to be a community-produced and delivered. Not singling Microsoft out, either--most software vendors' support for older products is abysmal. I'm tired of the attitude in the software industry of only maintaining back to some arbitrary time (mere years!), inevitably leaving users of older systems out in the cold. Unpopular opinion, but if you can't be assed to support a product for the duration that it's deployed in the field, you probably shouldn't release it to begin with. |

I think that the ball is on everyone still sticking on it - It was clear that Windows XP was supposed to be supported only for 10 years and they relent it and extend it to be 14 years. At that point it's clear that the companies who can't move, especially big ones, are the ones who are reckless.
