Perfectly satisfactory software which does all I need and more is rendered useless by updates to the operating system, under the cloak of increased performance and improved usability/stability.
The OS is perfectly capable of running emulation software to enable legacy and other incompatible software to run on even the newest systems but the developers of the OS's intentionally withdraw that emulation software, which forces users to upgrade what is otherwise perfectly adequately usable software from running.
Rosetta was withdrawn at Lion I think, which made a lot of my perfectly OK software redundant.
The developers provide for other operating systems but prevent the installation of older systems on newer hardware.
