I don't like it that some software no longer supports pre-SSE2 cpus. (Athlon XP, Pentium III) Firefox no longer runs, later updates of Windows 7 do not work, no skype support, etc. What's the big deal? Is it a crime to want to update and use the same old computer forever?? Ten years ago these old computers worked well on the internet. I don't see why companies force us to upgrade, other than making a profit. At least modern Linux still appears to work on the old systems, unless there is some compatibility issue I'm not aware of. If I designed software, I would never stop supporting old parts, and I would make it as lightweight as possible.
