-Snow Leopard got rid of Rosetta, which was nice. Getting rid of support for apps a decade old so the OS could evolve. When is Microsoft planing on doing that?
The fact that you can disable it easily makes your opinion on it sort of meaningless as if you don't like it you can simply choose to turn it off.
It's like going into a restaurant and not wanting mushrooms on your omelet. Just tell them not to put mushrooms in it. You don't have to go up in arms on the internet saying how shit their omelets are because they have mushrooms in them.
And backwards compatibility is bad now? You realize that's a really important for an operating system that most people actually use for real work, right?
I mean most of the industrial computer installations I've done have been using windows 7 with 8-12 year old software because the machines they're setup to manufacture with don't have updated infrastructure. If they "removed these apps so the OS would evolve" it would force them to either not upgrade the OS in their machines ever, or pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in new equipment that they didn't need.
