I'm glad this thread came up, because I was just thinking along these lines myself.
I'd suggest that live software be supported, come hell or high water, because there's always the unknown benefit that hasn't come to light yet. For example, Quantum Bookkeeping requires that the world plan for a changeover date that includes all countries. However, all countries aren't running the same computers, so quantum computer emulators must be kept alive for the humblest of systems, and they can.
What I have seen instead is a deliberate policy to divide and conquer users. If you wonder why, it's because my Ingrid WinXP VB6 software cannot register its major component on the 2nd Vista beta. In the run up to Vista I have seen updates that are deliberately breaking software that is not current, but software that worked on WinXP SP2 machines, further pruning the user base. I was told that VB.Net could always call VB6 components. What is that now, but lies?
If I were to meet the rumored CEO-to-be of Microsoft, I would whisper a suggestion that Vista come with not only an enhanced ntvdm.exe but a portable ntv31.exe, ntv95.exe, ntv98.exe, ntv2k.exe, and ntvxp.exe, etc.
Debit and credit double-entry bookkeeping are so second millennium, that on the St Lawrence topic I commented that Google aren't so much interested in AI itself, rather, the concept of "Quantum Bookkeeping" will become the competitive driving force between Google and Microsoft and may well be the reason behind the rumor that Bill Clinton will replace the chair thrower.
I think I know how such a chip, as designed here, could be placed around the world and 'seeded' with the tensors of the quantum bookkeepers, to produce orgone for some people or real non-delusional hydrogen fuel, a la the Joe Cell, for others -- nanotechnology, etc.
