If a new version of a particular program does not work with my version of windows, I will simply not use that particular program. In the case of Calibre, my present version works fine under XP. If a new version requires a later version of Windows, I will not upgrade (at least, not on my one remaining XP machine).
It's for that reason that I usually turn off automatic updates for most of the software products I own. When an update is issued, I want to decide for myself whether to install it. Usually, I decide in favour of installing, but of course not if it would mean that the software no longer runs on my computer.
That said, I understand the reasons for the developers not wanting to support old operating systems and old hardware indefinitely.
