Could someone give me a technical explaination as to why Windows 2000 is no longer supported? Maybe this great app should be renamed to FoobarXP
 (What is going to happen to us win2k users now? I presume there won't be two branches maintained, one that will work on win2k and one more 'fancy pants' one. Are we left by the roadside?) |

When an application drops OS support, then it typically is because of many reasons which make maintaining backwards-compatibility such a high effort, that it is in no reasonable relation to the gain anymore - or its because of lazyness. However, something like this almost never happens because of just ONE reason.
Here's a different perspective: Last time i checked, you could get 256MB DDR RAM for about 15$. Thats more than enough to make any PC which can run win2k, XP-ready. And if you dont like some of the bloat in XP, you can always make use of NLite ( http://www.nliteos.com ). |
