  People b*tch about everything on this list.  ;-)

  IMO: Microsoft is consistently inconsistent when it comes to
backwards compatibility.  They keep some stuff forever; other stuff
gets tossed out after one release.  I've never been able to discern an
overall strategy to it.

  Palm considered backwards compatibility a fundamental for more than
a decade, and then jettisoned everything in one product cycle.
