MP> Makes you wonder what MicroSoft has against lpt ports.  ;-)

MS stops programming for LPT ports, only USB.
Printer makers stop making LPT printers, only USB.
Your old LPT printer finally dies.
You go to buy a new one.
You can only find USB, with drivers for XP only.
You have to upgrade to XP.
MS has more of your money.
