I know nothing about MACs, (except that Apple’s LISA didn’t last long, but did parent MAC)

With respect to Windows, The steps from DOS to XP and then VISTA did lose some worthwhile software.  GrandView still worked on Win 3.1 (which was really DOS with a GUI overlay), pretty well on Win 98, usable on Win 2000, less usable on Win XP and ??? on VISTA.  I note that Symantec has never upgraded it to the Windows environment and now has not upgraded GoBack to VISTA.

Some developers (Surfulater) claim that updating their programs to VISTA is easy.  Some (Jot+) claim that it is hellish.

Windows registry IS HELLISH.
