If this stuff is confusing to us, on people who are in the know down to the details, imagine how utterly lost a normal consumer will be.

Have you ever bought a new computer with a new version OS or just upgraded the OS and found old hardware no longer works because there is no longer a working driver for that OS? I have a perfectly good HP laser printer that does not work with with Windows 7-64 bit or Windows 8 64-bit because there is no driver for such. The printer works perfectly well. But without a driver, it's a paperweight. So yes, you can be forced to buy something to replace what you have that still works perfectly well.
