Supporting 6-year old software, twice superseded, is a drain on resources keenly felt by a company struggling to bring their books back to where they want them to be, and 99% of the issue is people simply not wanting to for *reasons*. People, who could put the same effort they're putting into avoiding the update (being active in it is just bizarre) into researching their current compatibility and would end up with something that was a win-win for all. My desktop upgraded in about 25minutes with zero issues. I've had java patches take longer. This is the most seamless upgrade of an OS I've seen. I've tried to upgrade my laptop twice, waited 8+ hours and got nowhere. The first time it at least reached the install and reboot stage... and then booted into 7.  Second time it never got past the spinny 'preparing your computer' screen. I guess I should try again.Seamless isn't the word I'd use.

The likelihood of a drive dying ticks up slightly every year, crossing over 'more likely than not' around year five--and that's assuming you had a high-quality drive to begin with. Your files are becoming less and less likely to survive the longer you keep them on an old drive.
