Unfortunately since manufacturing is down significantly in this country, many industrial software companies have taken huge hits on their sales.
As a result they have laid off staff and developers and are now unable to update some of their existing software packages so they will run properly on Windows 7. I am sure now that in hindsight some of them wish that they had jumped off the Windows bandwagon years ago and moved to Linux. Does anyone think that Microsoft is a progressive software company any longer? I think that Microsoft peaked many years ago. I think that Bill Gates got out at about the right time.. nothing to do here.. might as was well leave...
