Um, Why? It makes perfect economic sense for MS to not write one. They want
you to upgrade to use these new features. I never argued that they didn't
want you to upgrade, nor did I argue they they don't "force" you to upgrade
to use new software, just that they don't force you to upgrade to run the
same software (and hardware) you always did.

If it is that simple (which I don't dispute) then the argument, that it does
not make economic sense for Microsoft to supply one, falls by the 
wayside.
