That's the fault of the authors of the software. Everyone else
releases patches if they programmed it badly the first time.

That's insane! How can an author possibly know MS is going to release
an 'updated' OS that breaks some other code in the process? When
customized software is in use, if it's not broken, you don't 'fix' it
with an OS upgrade.

Most program vendors release a patch to make it work with the new version of windows. They have plenty time to do so, as pre-release versions of windows are about before us lot get it.
