Sim City is/was massively popular. Rule of thumb: if the user changed something and things break, the user blames that something. That is, if the user upgrades to Win95 and things break, user will blame Win95, instead of the sloppy QA that went into Sim City.

Some early posts on Raymond Chen's blog (The Old New Thing) also talk about the lengths that MS were forced to go to to get some of the cr@ppy software that people wrote for 16-bit Windows to run on Windows 95 (he was personally involved, in the sense that he tracked down what was causing problems like this and created fixes). You'd be amazed at some of the stunts they had to pull to get things to work.
Compatibility was important, of course, to get Windows 95 accepted in the marketplace (just in case nobody here has mentioned that yet).

I don't get why we still have farmers with cows and pigs.
Just buy your milk and meat at a store, people!
Also, why do all cows have girl names?
There's a deep connection between our food chain and the patriarchy!
Both these comments were seen on Twatter (and those people weren't joking) and reconstructed here from my memory.
Unfortunately, these people get to vote too

I believe that the old BBC report on the great 1957 spaghetti harvest ([^] was discussed here at CP not too long ago ... with some Brits insisting that, of course, everyone in GB immediately understood that it was a joke, noone were really fooled ... Well, lots of people told a quite different story.
That was 65 years ago. I guess that in those days, more people knew how various foods are made, but complete knowledge wasn't the norm even back in those days.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
