Security updates, software compatibility. You forget the part about "Linux supports old hardware, you do not need to keep buying new hardware every three years, as the windows users have to do". What you are proposing is the Microsoft way of business, for Linux. Good for hardware companies (and for companies selling new version of existing software), bad for users. Forcing users to buy new hardware is not the way for Linux. This is not Microsoft. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
