I have the idea, that the NEW version like a couple of other versions, will not be compatible with certain version of Windows OS...
another way to either get a newer OS or get out. Like here in the USA, many ISP's have removed support for many older OS's from there system.
hence win 95 and win 98,SE,ME will not be able to logon.... many of the older routers will not allow access to the Internet with Vista SP1...
It is so very easy to write a little extra code that says, NO ACCESS allowed to v.x. I have seen this in Mirc's and many other programs.. it is $$$$$ and that is all.
That is like if you insert a AOL disk, and have auto run working... YOUR SCREWED AND TATOOED. it rewrites so much stuff, and there program(s) are auto set to DEFAULT. just like NetZero and several others....
