Well, PC/Windows is not totally free from these issues - it's just a fact of
life of computer architectural changes happening faster than lifecycles and
almost every tech company simply not devoting resources to support older
hardware. On the Windows side, when I moved to 64-bit Windows (this includes
XP, Vista and Windows 7 versions) I ended up with a scanner and DV deck that
simply did not work anymore. I kept an old machine around but neither Epson,
Panasonic, Microsoft or any 3rd party ever released drivers for 64-bit, so I
donated them and moved on.

I don't see any real chance of this changing. I just discovered also
recently that MS Office 2010 won't open at all old MS Office versions - we
definitely are heading towards a future with massive amounts of data,
software and hardware that simply won't function.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a
progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the
meaning, all that comes later.
-Stanley Kubrick
