As an adherent of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" school*, I tend to avoid upgrading programs that are still serving my needs..An example off this is Dragon Naturally Speaking 12, running under Win XP in Parallels. I have used it for several years along with Word 2000 in the same virtual set-up. Today, it simply would not open. All the files and the short cut appear to be intact. I'm wondering if there was a stealth "poison pill" in the upgrade notice that, as usual, I simply closed. Has anyone else experienced this?
* I have also stuck with El Capitan for this reason - upgrading would require upgrading Parallels to a version that would not support XP so several other legacy Win programs that I run would be broken because they won't run under newer Windows OS > lots of time and $ to regain functions that are currently OK.
