Re: The lull before the next storm rolls in

A very pertinent observation.

What we are talking about here is the ability for legacy applications to run on modern (more?) secure operating systems that didn't exist when the applications were implemented.

Anyway you look at it this is a costly business. All solutions are expensive. As is no solution.

Open standards help: Linux systems support huge amounts of legacy printers for example, that Win 10 drivers do not exist for.
