I've got a multi-gigabyte folder of portable windows programs and utilities, where parts have been untouched for 15+ years. For the most part, everything still runs. Winamp? Check. Spacemonger? Check. FLAC encoder? MP3 encoder? Notepad++? Savihost? TheGodfather? Flash Player? MS XML Notepad? ConEmu? Some really old build of CockroachDB? CPU-Z? Doom Builder 2? HexChat? Hell, even mIRC? Check check check check check checkity check. None of those have been updated in years, many untouched (but not unused) since the day I installed them. This is why the web is so effing stupid. (And a hat tip towards Microsoft for keeping promises, unlike web developers) And in many cases they STILL work better than the crappy little my-first-webapps that everyone uses instead nowadays. Software is and should be eternal. It's these damn platforms that nobody wants to hold still with.
