The web was done right the first time. An ancient 3D banana shows Microsoft does a lot right, too

Re: Maybe Windows 3.1 was a sweet spot?

I'm still getting value out of X Tree gold, PSP8, Winamp and a few other bits of ancient software.

if old versions of software I own can still [can be made to] work then I see no reason to buy another bit of software to do the job. This sort of thing is of course on the way out; because there is little to no point upgrading software on the basis of required functionality companies have gone with forcing people into buying subscriptions so you perpetually hire software and never own it.
