Issue with Windows 10 Screen colors

[Fairlight]

Actually, why should we agree to that?

That's like saying GM isn't responsible for making sure their cars
(which you purchased) are capable of driving on asphalt instead of
concrete.

If people purchased software in good faith, it should be usable in
perpetuity, or they should be upgraded for free.  I've expired product
versions and forced upgrades, but the difference is that my old stuff
doesn't stop working; it's an optional upgrade, and the only way you'll
get support, but nothing prevents the old versions from working.

Hell, I replace old binary versions of programs with the script version,
if it's an issue.

No, I wouldn't agree on principle.
