Re: Is this really a valid point?
"Secondly, how's your Packard Bell Fastmedia remote control running on windows these days? Mine is still running great on Linux, 20+ years later. In fact I managed to score a spare one recently in case the one I've been using since ~1998 ever dies."
But I thought we were talking, according to the OP's sentence structure, of NEW hardware.
See? He misdirected everyone and people took the bait. His post posits that you can't upgrade from Windows 7 because
"For example, if you don't run any Windows version later than 7 because you're sensible, it's hard already to find even a new printer with drivers to suit." (emphasis mine)
"NEW printer". Not old. But his "legacy" quote misdirects you to talk about actual, old hardware drivers as equivalent to discussing new hardware driver support.
