I agree. It is perfectly acceptable for a new OS to break applications as long as this is clearly stated, and suitable replacement apps are available and/or the necessary information to repair them is readily available to developers. "Backwards compatibility" represents a cost that should only be borne by the people who actually need it. It stifles innovation and it creates opportunities for bugs and malware.

A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all - he's walking on them. --Leonard Louis Levinson

The Sofa is soft and usefull, therefore the sofa is good.

But it's hard to port, as I'm sure anyone who's moved recently will attest to.

Multiuser / Multitasking Capable / Multi-Environment / Extensive interfaces / (Almost)User-proof packing-unpacking system / Suports wallpapers (not all) / Can be used in conjuction with a wide selection of desktop systems (even "Surface", even hand-held devices) / Improves male-female interaction (depends on users biochemical configuration) ..
Can one wish for more than this?  Lie on the Sofa, the Sofa is good.

Are you talking about pair programming? That's extreme!

Yes, The Sofa allows for quick&dirty, just-in-time pair programming (w/ or w/o backup).
The Sofa can't be held responsible if unpredicted variables arises when the users fail to use secured transfer protocol. This seems to be a common isue with teams of 2 or more, single user is safe from this issue (but prone to others). Besides, Bill Gates himself admited (but news channels misinterpreted) "one Sofa in every home".
