XP killed a scanner and printer.

Win7 killed a laser printer and some old DOS programs.

IE10 kills a tabbed browser with editing features not found on other browsers.

I skipped VISTA and Win8.

What hardware and software Win10 kill?

“Win7 killed a laser printer and some old DOS programs.”

While it’d be worthless for your laser printer, did you try DosBox with your old DOS programs? I was able to run a bunch of old PLD software without a hitch in DosBox not to mention several old games I had lying around. If not, check it out. It’s pretty slick if you have to run a lot of legacy applications and don’t want to set up VMs and the like.
