Unfortunately, some organizations seem to think they don't need to
support anything else. Two come instantly to mind that cause me some
grief. Supply your own company names :-)

Car GPS unit updates require windows - they don't even support vista
now. Fortunately I have an old laptop that sits in the cupboard, but its
time is running out.

Music score electronic downloads. (Linux? Tough! That was the attitude
when I complained).

The first I could sort-of understand. The second, just laziness or maybe
management ignorance. I strongly suspect there's a breed of programmer
that's too lazy (or just too incompetent) to abstract out the OS
interface from their code.

But there seems nothing the user can do -- there are no alternatives to
those suppliers.
