I beleive that you can rescue some people who want cool new features, but don't want to invest the $$$. You have to remember that 21% of Windows users still use Windows 98.
The percentage is that high?
Great... I can only imagine the number of zombied machines when there are no longer any MS patches...
Although I guess people can try using someone elses patches... Yet, that sounds like even more trouble...
The idea of copyright did not exist in ancient times, when authors frequently copied other authors at length in works of non-fiction. This practice was useful, and is the only way many authors' works have survived even in part. -- Richard Stallman
