Note that this happens even worse in the commercial world: how many
printers were thrown in dumpsters because users bought a new computer
running Vista and the printer manufacturer couldn't be bothered to write
a new Vista-clean driver for the printers they had already sold? They
just said "Sorry, buy a new printer." That is a very obvious example,
there are tons of other examples.
