- 1996 7y agoWine opens many new usecases. You realize the software rot myth was created by bad API deprecation pratices. Think how different the market becomes when consumers can keep using a 12 years old license. You need to introduce fantastic new features to get my money. Changing the font, the menu and the colors won't do. Even if it is free - why should I bother to learn this new software? The old license did cost me $5. If I misplace it, I can buy another for the same amount instead of paying year to year. And to this day it works reliably on every operating system I use.
