Too much support on older equipment means less time developing new with the result that people say that they "are not moving with the times", and with the balance the other way people tend to say "have you forgotten about us?" Sometimes, Vista has a built-in driver which works with the device, but generally only on a basic level. This is a fine balance, leaning too heavily in one direction or the other could prover disastrous. They would rather you buy new hardware that is compatible with your system (provides them with more revenue) rather than provide upgrades for your existing equipment (provides them with greater reputation, but little or no extra revenue). What they are doing is similar to what many other hardware manufacturers, especially printer and scanner manufacturers, are doing. I'm glad that things seem to be working out OK despite the setback with Tascam.
