Doesn't everyone have it backwards? Within reason, Microsoft attempts to make it's latest OS work with "other software". It's complicated shit - above anyone on GFY - and takes a lot of effort.

It's almost like like taking the tires off of my 1965 Mustang Fastback and trying to put them on my 2001 Mustang - The tires from the '65 are too big to fit on my new Musang. Do I have the right to bitch at ford because their new Mustang does't take parts from an old one? Of course not.

Again, I had that "core" problem with ICQ. I didn't think it was Microsoft's fault. Microsoft didn't write XP with ICQ in mind. Instead, maybe ICQ should have written it's software to work with XP.
