Well sure, but those vendors don't deserve to still be getting my 
business and I will leave them. Sadly you're not joking because these 
vendors do exist, they just shouldn't still exist.

For more and more companies though if they use unsupported software they 
are no longer in compliance so these vendors lose out. Maybe that's 
their goal? REtirement?
