Not too good, the new 7 version cannot call the other versions; however,
they can call you.

Not a good condition, I never thought Microsoft would do anything that
stupid.

I think it's good! Having something be backwards compatible forever is what
causes many computer problems.

Look at what Apple did a couple of years ago. A brand new operating system,
without all the crud of previous years. Everyone had to replace all their
applications as NOTHING that previously existed would work with the new O/S.
Now, I don't use a Mac computer but those who do say the new O/S is
splendid!

Maybe it's time for Microsoft to do the same. They try to maintain backward
compatibility for all the cry babies.

Hell, there is no reason why anyone should expect a 10 year old program to
work with the latest iteration of the operating system!
