Then why are you even on PR 1.3? PR1.3 introduced problems that caused all kinds of issues for several apps. So much so that Extras was actually split off into a separate 1.3 variant!

Xploder, one of the few decent games from the OVI store stopped working when PR 1.2 was pushed, and again when PR1.3 was pushed. It was 2 weeks before they updated the app to handle the change the first time, and one week the second. There are still plenty of apps that stopped working in PR1.3 in Extras that are now just dead because nobody is maintaining them. (Hangman is a great example of this.)

So even the precious PR releases cause things to break. That's the nature of change and fixing things. You can only keep supporting busted behavior for so long before it breaks everything else.

And really, do you expect an app made explicitly for PR1.3 to work on PR1.1 or PR1.2? They often don't. Why then would an app made specifically with CSSU settings be expected to work on a non-CSSU environment? It shouldn't. The fact that some actually do is somewhat astonishing.

There's a price to pay when you're still using Windows98 in 2012. If you're happy with what you have, that's great. But don't complain that people aren't supporting your decision to stay behind.
