I wonder if by "older versions" they mean Windows XP. When someone says "older" I'm thinking Win2K, NT ...ect. Not XP. XP is eight years old. That's "old".
Microsoft considers XP ancient. They've tried to kill it off about half a dozen times already and it keeps bouncing back like an undead zombie. It must drive them crazy.
Disclaimer: I like XP. The above is not in any way a slam on XP. I dislike Vista. I can tolerate Win7.
Anyway, Vista/Win7/Server2008 are a different security setup (compared to XP) in ways that affect this particular issue.

" XP is eight years old. That's "old"."That's true. It just doesn't 'seem' that old to me I guess. Wow how time flys. lol

Sucks to be good, eh? (NOT an anti-Mac/*nix statement.)
