> And just because it's supported does not mean it's up to date.

Let me make an example for this statement...

Windows 7 still does support floppy drives. If your program was a greeting card 
program, and the average size of a greeting card saved to disk was 3 megs, 
would you support your users who wanted a version that fits on a 1.44MB floppy? 
Probably not if it compromised the quality of your product.

The thing is, there are alternatives out there, and some applications have 
moved beyond the scope of older (yet supported) technology. There's nothing 
wrong with Floppy drives, and there's nothing wrong with IE6. (Well, one could 
argue there's things wrong with both Floppies and IE6... but I digress.) But 
when it limits your product, it's time to seriously consider moving on.
