Not sure it is funny or not. I've been told that the automotive manufacturers must support their products for 20 years which means keeping spare parts available.
To me, that sounds like they are taking care of their customers. Whereas the software industry seems to want to force new products on their customers rather than maintain their existing products. Which makes me wonder, if we keep on this path, and their customers can no longer afford to upgrade their products, where will our software manufacturers be at if like J.C. Penny's, they have forsaken their customer base? -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Russell Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 8:50 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [NF] The Tech Industry's Darkest Secret: It's All About Age On Wed, May 1, 2013 at 7:16 PM, Ken Dibble <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> No, it gets too old when people who drink the Microsoft koolaid, and >> who > do things that we depend on, say it is.

You expect a vendor who already makes contemporary updated products to keep updating everything from the past as well to keep it current?
