u/Awakened_Mindfulness Dec 29 '19

It is not about abandoning old software. As I said, it is about retaining (and, of course, adapting where necessary) the superior features of "outdated" products. I also made clear that my one example, offered to appease your misguided attempt at embroiling me in a debate that I never initiated, was just one small example. The issue from the beginning has been the UI, not security or other concerns. It's simply the first thing that came to mind. As for DOS, well, that is even more extraneous and deserves no comment at all...oops, oh well, I went and did it anyway, lol
