This is exactly part of my point. It isn't just machines running poorly, it is the inability of some versions of Windows supporting older software.
In my case I still use Microsoft Office 95 Professional. I have Office 97 Pro and Office 2003 Pro (with 2007 file capability) as well, to read files from students. But I write in Word 95. There is no reason for me to upgrade. The newer versions don't work the same way as the older ones, and I prefer Word 95.
There is no reason for me to upgrade as long as someone doesn't force me to upgrade. Office 95 works in XP. Don' know if it works in Vista or 7. I suspect there are problems with Vista, so I've had no incentive to go there. Absolutely none.
Oh, and yes I still have some DOS programs I used daily. I need a robust MS-DOS box (cmd.exe on NT class OSes). Period.
