You're right. They did need to be backward compatible to keep people from jumping ship. And they will only keep it up as long as they think it's commercially viable.

But I think Microsoft has been a lot more abusive of their customers in the planned obsolescence department than just about anybody I can think of.  |  IP: Logged
