Many programs that a lot of people use are simple one-trick ponies and really don't need all the bells and whistles that are touted as the reason to upgrade. Many people don't need all the neato-keen things MS Office will do, they just need a relatively simple spread sheet program and a good word processor. Why should you have to keep learning a new e-mail program? Change the underpinnings and keep the interface. But if you don't change things around, how do you convince people that it's "new-and-improved"?Sam Spade wrote:bwanshoom wrote:

Marketing is trying to convince us that changing just for the sake of change is good. It is a LIE.
If you like wearing your old shoes, do so.
Don't come here telling everybody upgrading is a racket to get your money.
If you prefer to be left behind do so quietly.
SHEESH!!

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.

Could not use Win 10 myself. Too many older programs that won't run. Need to use MS Visual Studio 6 which barely runs under Win 7/8. Might be able to setup a virtual box on Win 10 and load XP on it. Very costly to rewrite custom software each time MS changes OS's. For those running off the shelf common software its not as big of a problem.
