ok... so what exactly did they collaborate on?


Legacy systems are considered to be potentially problematic by many software engineers for several reasons (for example, see Bisbal et al., 1999).

* Legacy systems often run on obsolete (and usually slow) hardware, and spare parts for such computers may become increasingly difficult to obtain.
* If legacy software runs on only antiquated hardware, the cost of maintaining the system may eventually outweigh the cost of replacing both the software and hardware unless some form of emulation or backward compatibility allows the software to run on new hardware.
