[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 661308, member: 59833"] Drivers are a big problem when attempting to install legacy operating systems on current hardware and when installing current operating systems on legacy hardware. Sadly, and once again, Microsoft often gets the blame for this but it is the hardware makers who are responsible for making compatible drivers, not Microsoft (or Linux for that matter). And when it comes to legacy hardware, there is no financial incentive for hardware makers to spend resources (money and labor hours) developing current OS drivers because they get nothing in return. They would much rather users buy their new hardware instead. The same is true for legacy software. Developers would rather you upgrade to newer versions. [/QUOTE]
