As a licensed user of v 3.01, I was about to order the upgrade to 4.0 when I read this post. Though I have had nothing but good things to say about Mathematica technical support and software, the notion of abandoning support for older versions strikes me as unfair to legitimate users who are getting along fine with older hardware and software, with no pressing need to upgrade either. While probably a numerically small group, they purchased the software in good faith, which isn't being reciprocated here. While I recognize this is the prevailing paradigm in the software industry, I had thought WRI was a classier act and am disappointed to read otherwise. Customer loyalty, afterall, has to be earned.
