I certainly feel they're well scoped enough to be answerable, but some of those answers are "hunt down this specific version or older of FOO". That's something I see as being worth preserving. I guess the 'fun' part is how such a previously ubiquitous technology is fairly actively being sunsetted. I don't seem to think MS is pushing a killswitch on older windows versions? | |
