Just this year, we pulled our Pentium Pro box off our museum shelf and 
did a fresh install of NT4 for a faculty member and their scientific

I have a scanner that originally cost $10,000, and the only software for it runs on Windows XP (thankfully I can use Parallels Desktop to run XP and use it). Other, even more expensive scanners require even older software that requires physical systems. I also have some pretty high-end Macintosh A/V HW & SW that won’t run on newer systems.
