And in that time, Windows has gone from Windows, to Windows 3.0, to 
OS/2, to Windows 3.1, to NT, to Windows 95 to Windows NT4, to Windows 
98, to Windows XP. And each iteration of the OS brought new versions 
of software.

Every computer a user bought would most always bring with it a new 
version of their software. As often as users purchased computers, 
they too wanted new versions of their software. Rarely would a user 
reinstall their old version of software when they purchased a new 
computer with a new OS.
