I have no insider info, but it's probably similar to the decision of dropping older Windows versions: it's done because supporting them forces programmers to use old inefficient programming techniques. For instance, the Windows version dropped support for pre-XPSP1 Windows because modern compilers generate code that's not compatible to those old versions. Using old compilers kept developers from leveraging features of the newer versions that were judged important. At some point, it becomes too hard to program for older platforms. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...
