indeed annoying (and depressing); it also means that you cannot copy
an old tree to a new linux installation (this is what i found out
recently); on windows, one does not have this problem (since it

macosx is for updates
It is precisely the same situation as Win98 refusing to run WinXP
binaries. (except it doesn't outright refuse that, it just makes
them crash unexpectedly and unexplainably)
Well, or Adobe Reader 7 refusing to install on Windows ME* and demanding
at least WinNT SP x or Win2000 SP 2, fortunally there is GhostScript to
print PDF files. (The PDF file didn't print with 6.0.)

* I fully agree with most world (incl. Microsoft), that WinME is bad,
but to update Windows just for AR is a bit too much.
PS: That neither CorelDraw Linux 9/Linux (not anymore) nor CorelDraw
Windows via Wine (not yet) runs here on my (too modern) Linux, is also
annoying.
