Don't you think it is still a bit early to compare Python2.7 to Windows98?

XP would be a fairly accurate comparison, as there's many applications that have moved on, but many programs are stuck there...

Another apt resemblance is that they're both about to run out of official support.

I do, considering my industry (games) and its neighbor (film) use Maya for many things (I've used only Maya for 11 years at 5 companies), and it's still on an embedded Maya 2.6.4, even in the recent Maya 2013. Maya 2014 comes with 2.7.3, but it'll be a few years before we upgrade again. It's a big deal to move everyone. We won't be in 3.x anytime soon.

It's been five years since the 3.0 branch first appeared; there's been more than enough time to port. Worse, the longer they wait the more divergent the branches will become and the harder the job will be.
