What is the point of this thread? Have you not been reading it?
It's about MS forcing people to upgrade. While I may not agree
with all the points made here, the points I have made are valid and
no one has been able to convince me otherwise yet. I realize they
can't be fully backwards compatible, things change and that's a
fact of life. What I don't like is when compatibility is broken
intentionally.

"forcing"?
You are being forced to upgrade by Microsoft?
They came to your home and inflicted bodily harm?
They threatened legal action if you did not upgrade to Vista?

If you are being 'forced' by anything - it is your choice of lifestyle and
interaction with others - I cannot see any other 'force' making you get
Windows Vista. Hell - you don't even have to use a Microsoft OS - no one is
*forcing* you to do that.

Forced...
Please. If you are that easy to 'force' - just turn your wages over to me?
Why?? - because I said to.
