Re: Necessary abandonware
"I have plenty of Abandonware on my PCs that can no longer be found"
The difference is that you can still run that abandonware on your fully updated PC, potentially decades after it was abandoned, even if that requires using the likes of dosbox or similar.
And you don't have to contend with Microsoft arbitrarily hitting a killswitch that deliberately disables software just because it's "too old".
Sure, there are compatibility issues, but that's not quite the same thing as being deliberately blocked. And unlike Android, you can easily work around those compatibility issues.
So where is the Android compatibility layer that will keep all my abandonware running in perpetuity, like on Windows?
This is especially ironic given that Android is a Java-like virtual machine, where you're supposed to be able to "write once, run anywhere" forever.
Well, I guess not.
