The Communist government was supposed to wither to nothing once the People's Paradise was established. The labors unions are supposed to retreat to a watchdog status once the injustices of corporations are corrected. It is in human nature that people want to hold on to their jobs (power) even after the task is completed. I froze my Microsoft adventure at Windows 98. Many versions of the 3 programs I run on it have been produced since, most of them for later systems only. I still can't find a single feature that they added in 7 years that I really need. Keep copies of your current and old distributions! We may have 99% of whatever good operating system software will ever be produced.
