I care that those people are on supported software, not insecure versions that are unsupported. You're welcome to hold out on old hardware, no one is offended, but don't expect MS to support unsupported operating systems. That's doing no one a favor. There's plenty of old hardware scenes and gamers, and has been for a long time before AOE2. It is important if MS can make money off people, because without that incentive there never would've been an AOE2 to begin with. So I'd save your dinars for that upgrade.
