As another example, as a vendor of Vue "stuff," I'm having trouble trying to make some products available for Vue version 7. I know a good person on a very limited pension who has only Vue 7, and has been pleading with me to make some of my stuff work on that old Version of Vue. I'd love, love, love to be able to do this, but I can't even buy the hardware pieces to make a computer, let alone the old version of Microsoft Windows need to make this possible. (And I build my own computers, so if anyone could do this, it ought to be me!) But it is frankly impossible for me to build a rig that will run Vue 7, even though I've kept the software (since I go back to "Vue 1.00). I don't even want to think about the kind of nightmare it would be to try to port some of my products back to that old version.

Not sure if I've misunderstood, but why would you need an old version of Windows to run Vue 7? I'm currently running Vue 7 Inf and Vue 11 Complete, under Windows 10 Pro. Vue 7 runs perfectly. Unfortunately, the terrain editor in Vue 11 Complete crashes unless I run it in OpenGL Software mode.

Actually, just realised something - is there a difference in how plugins work between 32-bit Vue and 64-bit Vue, hence the need for 32-bit Windows?
