I posit that the old interface could be the new interface. For example, I'm willing to bet that most people spend most of their online time using complex interfaces to acquire tiny, yet important to them, bits of information. By "complex", I mean something like Facebook compared to the information retrieved, which could be something as simple as your best friend's status. So, imagine replacing Facebook in the browser with Windows Notepad plus an EXE made using AutoIt. The EXE would run in the background, regularly getting that important friend status, then "typing" it into the assigned Notepad window. Sure, you could argue that this does not replace Facebook in the browser, but it gives you a new way of utilizing an old interface, while also giving you features that the complex interface might not have, such as being able to easily save a history of your friend's status messages. I'm not saying that this should be an actual product, although it does have some potential. Rather, I'm pointing out that old interfaces can be repurposed.
