My point is that the _broken_ application which would fall into this
trap is obviously not specified to run on Windows 7 (or this bug would
have already been fixed by them). Thus you installing Windows 7 and
expecting it to just work is the error... even if it's a laudable
goal, it's your expectation that is in error.
