You must be talking about Microsoft and technology, not Apple's
technology. Last week I had to convert a drawing from Aldus FreeHand 2
[1988] to Adobe PDF. I found the _floppy_disk_ that contained FH2, put
the software on my 10-year-old PowerMac, then transferred it to my newer
Mac on our network. I opened the drawing in FreeHand 2 in Classic,
converted to Postscript [EPS], then opened it in Macromedia FreeHand 10,
printing it to PDF. Some of the features in FH2 didn't work, but most of
them did, and that's a 20-year-old program.
People forget that Microsoft is primarily a marketing company, not a
software company. They should concentrate more on software, instead of
breaking things, but they have to break things, so you buy more.

I think Mike is drinking the koolaid on this one.
I don't know about Apple but 15 years of familiarity
with Microsoft makes it clear to me that software
changes (i.e. features) are meant to drive marketing,
except unlike model changes in cars they are more pernicious
in that breaking old versions is part of the marketing strategy
(as is canceling support). Rather than being "consumer driven"
changes in software have always been largely done over the objections
of the user base. IMHO (List, am I right?)

Sounds like you are describing a mac..
And new technology often does not work well with technology that is a decade
old. But then you already know that, you just like taking pot shots at MS
any chance you get even when there isn't an opening. The routers will catch
up. With logic like yours we'd still be using 386's.
