    Can I hold you to the decisions you made 20 years ago? I bought that program you built decades ago, that means I’m entitled to your continued support. And don’t you even think about getting paid, your support should be free. You shouldn’t have built and sold the software if you can’t support it…

      We’re not talking about support, we’re talking about not breaking the software we bought after the fact.

        It would not be onerous for them to continue supporting a couple of old versions of Windows, they would just have to hire a few more people to do it.

        You literally did say support.

          Yes, they can have their software continue to support Windows by simply not breaking the version that works for windows, without having to provide full customer support and service for it.
