That's a good point, though then years is quite a lot of time and should even
allow the largest company with lots of backlog to transition gracefully to
whatever is hot and sexy then. Meanwhile, how about using a virtual machine of
XP in a more modern version of windows along with your other apps?
Here's a thought experiment for you:
Imagine Soft had died years ago and XP was the only version it ran in and
Win7/8 gave errors. :( Now imagine the latest cool helpful software, say
the latest version of ZBrush, no longer ran in XP in the latest version
(because who uses that, right?) Now you're gonna have to keep one OS for
your Soft antiques and one for the modern stuff. That's not gonna be fun.
Granted this won't happen for several years, but better learn new platforms
now before you're dead in the water.

What's the risk of Soft 2015 ceasing to work with future versions of

Long term, that's roughly my thinking with using Fabric Engine for in
house development. It puts that very idea within reach of smaller places.

just as a shell basically with their own customization and updating, so
could one of the larger houses using soft not do the same thing?
