GOOD OLD SOFTWARE DID NOT VANISH, IT LOST ITS EXIT The question sounds nostalgic, but it points to a real structural change. Good older software usually lived on the user's machine, stored its working files in visible folders, and kept running after the vendor lost interest. A spreadsheet, drawing program, file manager, audio editor, FTP client, or desktop database could be copied to another disk, backed up with its documents, and opened years later if the operating system still supported it. The software's value sat near the user. That made it slower to change, harder to monetize after purchase, and easier to keep. https://lnkd.in/dPPHK8hj #digitalworksociety #webiano #software #users #product #old #support
