Microsoft maintains good backward compatibility, but has a habit of releasing a new way of doing things every five minutes.

Just to connect your Windows program to a Microsoft database.

To be fair, most of those deprecated technologies are 10 to 20 years old and use paradigms that wouldn't cut it with how we build software today.
