OSNews, Generic OSes Software moves on at a break-neck pace these days--version numbers clock up ever quicker as vendors try to market their apps as the latest and greatest. Software generally ages badly, falling into a state of looking grossly out of date, lacking new functionality that we've come to depend upon as well as compatibility problems. Dear OSNews readers, what old software (5+ years) do you still use, why, and what problems do you come across in sticking with it? Read More for my own contribution to the list

I had the displeasure of using vb 6 once or twice to debug some old crap lying around.

To me it's more like the kind of software that leaves you wondering "how can anyone ever possibly think this thing was any good?"

Then again there are people who are praising each horrible new iteration of visual studio, people who use digital watches, etc. so it's not really surprising.
