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

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.)
