why was the support for FIREWIRE Stopped?! Rhetorical question!
Just because no one is currently purchasing products with such quality features.
or,
While being bombarded with the currently "HYPED" and mostly "desired" sales aspects of such products that may BE able to support the current Quarters profits; Kinda like HOW I feel at the moment, discovering something i invested in to be able to be able to access DATATA IN THE FUTURE?!?!
In All of my Years of working in the IT business and despising the "backward Compatibility" clause.
Here I am, asking; Pleading can MS provide Backward Compatibly to firewire devices???

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Because, MS doesn't care about FIREWIRE. MS only cares about what's going to make them money. And if a product doesn't make them money, then it's worthless and useless. I bet Linux supports FIREWIRE. I have a FIREWIRE card in an older computer, but highly doubt it works in anything newer than Windows 7 Pro. I know there's a lot of stuff like that, that Linux supports, but the problem with Linux is the minimal software compatibility.
