The macOS version will not and I would bet the linux executable versions may have a few issues with glibc changes over that time as well. It is a real tribute to Microsoft that they have kept backwards compatibility for so very long.
Yeah, when you guys got me thinking about the switch over, I checked the "About" information in the dropdown, and nearly fell out of my chair. Happy to give Microsoft a couple of fingersnaps, but I think It's also a testament to the quality of the program. Whatever bugs you guys were seeing on your end, the fact is, I don't think there's another single piece of software that I've used unupdated for so long... except maybe, like, Winamp!
