I give up? Why should you as a vendor be forever tied to backwards compatibility? Is that communism coming out of your keyboard? I find that M$, as this particular vendor who owns the products we are bitching about, gives ample time software companies to get familiar with the changes and make adjustments as needed before release of new product. Would you guess those maintenance fees companies charge are to go against testing these new products instead of just to your pocket? If you call yourself a professional in this business you might as well act like others who do the due diligence as major players make major product updates. Instead the ostriches on this list just hide and hope that their customers won't get those NASTY new softwares. They just get in the way.
