Software that needs XP

by kiltie . Updated 19 years, 8 months ago

One of my biggest gripes is software that insists on a certain Operating System being installed. I run multi boot systems. Some software I cannot run on 98, I have to boot to XP.

Why?

Sure, maybe it is best to have the latest and greatest, but that point is debatable, for example Vista has far too many restrictions, imho good software doesn’t need any qualifications.

To insist on NT, a specific version of OS, or a .NET framework is surely outrageous?

Or are programmers being lazy, needing support?

I am impartial, love to see your opinions on this.
