it's called progress. and it includes obsolescence. if progress didn't exist, we'd all be reading paperback books from a library that someone sneezed into or wiped snot on.
Um, no... if I ran the business I would devote employees to supporting software used by my customers who are buying my products to use on that software. I couldn't really give a damn about whether it is "officially" obsolete, if as far as MY industry is concerned, it is still thriving.

Last I heard, WinXP is more popular than Windows 8, it has Microsoft quite concerned actually.
