The Linux Upgrade Treadmill - Goodbye, Microsoft®:
'via Blog this'
All software puts us on an upgrade treadmill.
Virtual machines might allow us to run old software that we are happy with. But then we are just on a maintenance treadmill - upgrading the virtual machine that allows us to run the old software. Perhaps not so bad if a single virtual machine had all personalities - but inevitably they don't / won't.
Moreover, the biggest reason to upgrade is to gety security patches. Perhaps don't need to upgrade apps that are not exposed to attackers - but exactly what apps are those? Open Office... nah.
