please do NOT be backwards compatible. Be good, nice, small, elegant  
will be enough!

A friend of mine (a cool one) was making the comparison between mac  
and pc.
On mac regularly you get driver, plug (like RS232) that get  
obsolete... and on PC you get all the backwards
compatibility layer to carry with you. So may be this is why windows  
is often not that stable (my point is not to open
a debate PC vs Mac but to make us all think in terms of the tradeoff.)
