        Do not bully people just because IE 7 is not available for Windows 98.

            There's trillons of Cobol code lines out there, so... I worked for a Bank that is still using some Clipper apps. I think that run every two year to the new version of VS is worthless

                  An argument could be made that any web site requiring a browser later than IE6 is more bloated than functional. (For the record, I use Firefox 20.0.1 and sometimes IE 10.)

                      COBOL is still active and popular because it supports decimal arithmetic natively (ie. without having to write classes or depend on libraries). Most commercial activities are plain old "read input, massage numbers, spit out result" instead of making lists or calculating a scientific result (which is more interesting to OOP and recent paradigms). Just about every day a new language is invented by somebody, but none of them address decimal arithmetic... which is why COBOL will live on for a long time. The only languages that I know of that currently support decimal arithmetic are assembler (pick your machine), PL/1 and COBOL. I think COBOL wins this one...

                        Why not? if it works for him. I know people who who are still driving their 1950's Ford truck. And they're happy with it. It works for them. Kinda crazy notion, huh? Yeah, yeah, I know.

                                    If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
                                    You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
                                    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

                                          a month back a director asked me to be as backward compatible as windoes95 ... My prompt quest was why leave DOS and win3.1 .. After this[^] I wonder whom are we trying to impress

                                          Last someone asked me to that (though it was to be backward compatible to Win98) I pointed out that anyone too cheap too upgrade from 98 would be too cheap to buy our upgrade. I was right.
