Vista, Win 7

wrote: Note that the requirements for the newer operating systems (post- XP) are significantly higher for application authors In what sense? so don't be too surprised if some favorite apps take longer to make the upgrade. Also not unusual for developers to just throw in the towel at the sight of the newer requirements. Some software devs also didn't move with increased security requirements. Microsoft finally started to clamp down in Windows Vista. In my opinion long overdue. And Vista got blamed for this. These standards predate Windows 2000. For example 1) requiring that folks run their apps as administrators 1) software devs running as a regular user to locate all such problems. 2) installing apps to \Program Files is obviously fine but put all your data files in the users Application Data 3) Installing the software in it's own folder on the root of C drive with a mixture of exes, dlls and data files shouldn't be done either.
