Why do you still need to use that?
I assume:
He paid for it.
It works for him to do what he wants or needs.
Why should he be FORCED to change ????
Hint: He shouldn't be.

Most time it's better to just hold off and buy a new computer with the latest OS already installed and not try to upgrade.

You seem to miss the point. Just because something is considered 'new' technology does not make it better. Reliability, compatibility and stability are essential in a business. If we are to invest heavily in developing custom in house software to run on Windows we cannot go in knowing that effort will be obsolete and 'left behind' in 10 years or maybe less and require a complete rewrite.

A more robust and capable IDE can be had for free from Microsoft. At this point using that program is not at all like an old shoe - it's problematic and ill-suited for today's technology.bwanshoom wrote:

And I was saying that the answer should be obvious.
It's like an old shoe; it serves the purpose and is comfortable.
Marketing is trying to convince us that changing just for the sake of change is good. It is a LIE.
