   Most consumers couldn't care less. As long as the computer can easily   
   run an email app, a web browser, and some sort of word processor and   
   spreadsheet, they're happy. Mostly it is whatever software that comes   
   free / bundled with the computer.   
      
   Businesses that use custom apps may need to be able to run older   
   software, but most businesses users don't care either - they just buy   
   new equipment and new software, and write it off their taxes as a   
   "business expense".   
      
   A tiny minority of people that want to keep using old apps are the only   
   ones who even know such a problem even exists.
