Computer buying cycles:
Big Corporations with Lots of Cash have the ability to buy new hardware every 3 years. Smaller, older businesses do Not: In fact many small businesses are still in the “If it isn’t broke, why fix it?” mentality. Our particular facility still has hardware here that is 6 years old (or older in some cases): The older hardware actually has a better ability to run out on the hot factory floor than the newer hardware does (the best we can ever deploy out onto the factory CANNOT be faster than 1.5ghz: It would otherwise crash during the hot summer months).

Hardware support:
Why not make it that, If its a driver that works with NT4, that it should still work in some way with Windows 7? Linux is wonderful with this in that I’ve been able to continue using hardware that was designed for Windows 95 in the current day whereas windows doesn’t even Want to look at it or even acknowledge its presence In this day of virtualization, there should be SOME way to virtualize a driver instance to where it will still function without stranding the user with a windows-worthless piece of hardware.

Applocker:
If they can make it to where an administrator can, just before deployment of a machine to a user, go ahead and direct the applocker to “Scan this machine for All the existing executables and ONLY allow the existing detected executables to be run from this point forward”, Then Applocker I think would be worth it.

If Apple can do such a wonderful job at virtualizing their old 9.x systems for use within their 10.x systems until people fully transitioned over to the new software at their own pace, I see no reason why Microsoft shouldn’t be able to do so as well.
