Software ages by association. Whatever system it's on or associated with dictates its life span. Like if you put a soda on a block of ice outside. It will last through the winter and stay solid. Wait until spring and things start getting slippery and wet. The ice and soda are showing signs of aging. Summer hits, and your soda crashes to the ground, spills, everything is just sticky, unusable, and bugs are everywhere.
