Hi Slim I read your blog and also the reply.....it very much bears out what I am saying. It is surely down to the big boys to ensure that any new technology is backwards compliant. Why should other companies who supply products to work with a given technology have to keep changing their support etc for something that is not broken until somebody from Microsoft or some other biggy company decided to move the goal posts and make changes which all of a sudden make the old products obsolete.
