otherwise it'll become obsolete within couple of years. At the very least it must be patched up with newly discovered security threats.

Only if it talks to the internet. I have plenty of software I downloaded over a decade ago that has no internet access and runs perfectly fine on Windows 11. Much of it is even older than that. Just stop trying to cram social media integration into your label-making program and it gets a lot easier.

Probably depends on the user, honestly. Most of the software I use doesn't need to talk to the internet. A lot of it wants to, but that's a different thing.

It may be an unpopular opinion, but most of that software should just live in the browser if it's actually reliant on the cloud.
