And while I don't expect, for example, for Windows to contiue to support Win 3.1, 95 or Win 98, I like the fact that not only can I get my hands on games like Diablo III, I can still load up and play something like Pac-man 'cuz someone's packaged it up for use with the latest OS's *.To me, the best scenario would be where we could get a D&D game generic enough to work with the older editions, yet you can still add on to it.  I wish they'd focus moreso on adventures than splatbooks, as splatbooks seem to drive the impetus for new editions that incorporate those "add-ons" into the core.* Yes, I know Pac-man was an arcade game, but I used to have Revenge of Arcade back for Win95/98 - and besides, it's a great old game.</blockquote>
