That clarifies things. At first, I thought the hardware break might mean that many programs might no longer run but it is actually about requirements to run Windows. I came across an

I doubt that any of this will happen really. There is a push for the universal usb 3.2 standard and a few other things like that. But win10 and 11 are just the same guts with the shells

Well my university was like that so a lot of virtual machines. However my brother who works for a large engineering firm says that while they try to keep updated vms are a daily staple for old

Also, are there implications for people who try to future proof their computers by spending much more for power and capacity, if that is the right word, than is currently necessary? I consider

Certainly you can't separate keeping compatible from money and resources. What I meant to ask, if I didn't do so clearly, was whether you need different versions of browsers for different

I personally think it's a bit of both. On the one hand, you don't want to support older software, I would not. On the other hand, you don't want to spend time writing and rewriting old bloated code

Gene, You can't separate out "keep compatible" and "not wanting to expend money and resources." Google doesn't give a flying rat's patootie about whether or not its prolonging the life of an

I'm curious whether such end of support decisions for browsers are motivated by not wanting to prolong the life of unsupported Microsoft operating systems or because different versions of the browser

Do you also recall the differences between AMD and Intel chips where AMD had something called 3d now and Intel had SSE2, and trying to run software compiled for one would not work on the other. This

I think there are two different issues here. The first is as you say, but nonetheless change for the sake of making a change does seem pointless. I'd put ribbons into this category. With older

No we are up to 6 now. Every dotnet release coincides with visual studio releases. Windows 10 will install 3.5 minimum and I think 4 or 5 I am unsure anyway you need to install bits of

OH god, I remember that battle. Don’t remind me, oh wait, you already did. Lol. Har har har. Time for me to get back to work.

First, love your signature. Anyway, second, I googled and it said something about Microsoft dot net 5.0 which I thought was a typo as we are only up to 4.0 if I recall. I saw the page after I sent the
