Hi Charles, Well, to be honest it is a simple issue of supply and demand as you know. While all of the new desktops and laptops I've seen out on the shelves at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Staples, Office Max, etc are all 64-bit systems running Windows 7 that doesn't mean this community will upgrade immediately. I figure at least five years for the majority of the 32-bit systems to be replaced by 64-bit systems, and in the mean time those older systems have to be supported. However, the newer systems need to be supported as well. Its a transition phase for everyone.
Anyway, while I might have the latest and greatest money can buy that doesn't mean my customers are running the same. Many of them are on SSI, SSDI, or some other fixed income and for them upgrading might happen every five or ten years behind the mainstream. So it only makes sense to maintain backwards compatibility as long as we can until the VI market has mostly made that transition over to the new platform. Who knows when that might be? Cheers!
