Ack. 

For the most part, I think Apple is right to purge old software in order to advance the platform. But there are some old games that are painful to lose. Is it possible to run older versions of OSX in a virtual machine in order to play these classics? Or would one be forced to run an older version of Windows in a VM to play the classics? 

VM OSX? Not easily unless things have changed - most of the VM manufacturers prevented that unless you were using a server version.

You could always set up an older OS partition and dual boot as long as your Mac supports that OS.

Mystigo: CS6 was the last version on perpetual license.

Why the heck did they move it? People have basically programmed motor responses by now. That is just bad UX. and lumping it in with a group of other functions? Very strange. 

Love to hear the rationale. Hopefully none of this makes it to gold.

Not a human right. But a constitutional right we all deserve.

Constitutional rights are human rights.  I wish the phrase "Constitutional Rights" would just go away.  The U.S. Constitution is not a grant of any rights to anyone, it is a grant of power to the government from the people.  It is designed, according to the principles laid out in the Declaration of Independence, not to grant rights, but to protect from violation by government those rights that are yours simply by virtue of you having been born.  The Founders originally intended for the rule to be "if it ain't in the Constitution as a granted power, the government can't do it."  One of the reasons there was such a fight over the Bill of Rights was because some felt it to be too much like granting rights, which was to be avoided.  Turns out those concerns were correct, since that's how most politicians seem to feel about it these days.  "The Constitution doesn't give you the right to X!" is a refrain often heard from people who don't understand the principles that are supposed to underlie our system of government.  It should be "The Constitution doesn't give the government the authority to do that."
