I don't know much about the technical reasoning, but I don't know why, for
example, the ribbon system has replaced the pulldown menus, why sounds are
handled in such a way that games no longer work and recording of music
cannot be done as it used to be, and why perfectly user friendly Email
clients such as Outlook Express are replaced by less user friendly ones, and
that sort of stuff.

Hi Dark,
Weather or not Microsoft deserves to be shot over dropping support for
Visual Basic 6 is debatable. I seriously wish you would become an
informed user and study the technical reasons why Microsoft chose to
discontinue certain technologies rather than just blaming them for it.
Then again, I doubt it would matter in your case.
I don't want to be rude or insulting, but it seems that you hate
Microsoft, have some desire to blame them for everything they do, and
weather they do something for a good reason or a bad reason they are
always, always, always the bad guy. I don't know what your personal
bias is, but I find your comments like "Microsoft should be shot"
really gets up my nose, because it is assuming you know more than them
about the technical ins and outs of their technology. This isn't about
ethics or philosophy but an area of expertise you apparently know
little about beyond a basic end user's knowledge.

While it is Liam's choice to discontinue support for the software (silly
microsoft should be shot for causing this much trouble), I completely
disagree with his point that offering the games for free is bad for
previous customers. Indeed I'd much rather the games that I enjoyed and
continue to enjoy could be appreciated by people in the future than that
they vanish forever, and it is not as if this is the first time a
developer
has made such a decision, for example I originally bought Teraformers,
trek
2000 and Tarzan Jr, and am happy people can still play the games.
I would very much like to contact Liam and let him know my feelings on
this
issue sinse while discontinuing the games is up to him, I think he is
making
some incorrect assumptions about the feelings of customers, and it is a
shame if people weren't able to play the games in the future just because
Liam was afraid previous customers would take umbridge.
all the best,
Dark.
