I don't prefer anything, but making things work between systems is a pain, and I thought portable languages were the thing that allowed those systems to run the same programs.
I just think that trashing portions of technologies that worked on other systems, is debatable.

Yeah, maybe. At the time I adopted Ogre3D, I thought its code would run on any OS. I would really like to know the good reasons that push companies to break backward compatibility. Carbon comes to mind. Most other OSes think backward compatibility is important. But now, we move faster than light, screw the weak ones who won't learn all the new stuff !
congressmen ! Seriously ?
