Here’s the thing about classics: sometimes they just stay classic—let me tell you what’s happening with your PCB design tool.
Microsoft sets the rules of the game. We don’t. They control what runs on Windows, including ExpressPCB Classic 7.9.
I hear you saying, “What’s really going on here?”
The truth is simple: Classic 7.9 isn’t evolving or changing – it’s staying exactly as it is, like that perfectly broken-in baseball glove you’ll never replace. But here’s the timeline we’re dealing with in terms of our support:
The situation isn’t about change – it’s about preservation. Think of it like a vintage car: it’ll keep running as long as you can get the parts (in this case, as long as Windows supports Visual Basic 6.0).
You might be thinking, “Are you taking this away?” Let me be clear:
- Your existing Classic 7.9 installation isn’t going anywhere
- Need to reinstall? We’ve got your back. The download link is below.
- Want to explore Plus separately? Run them side-by-side without replacing anything.
Here’s the bottom line: Classic 7.9 is staying exactly as it is – reliable, familiar, and unchanged. Plus is its own separate thing. The choice to stick with Classic? That’s yours to make.
Think of it this way: Classic 7.9 is like that favorite diner that keeps serving the same perfect cup of coffee, year after year. It’s not updating its menu – it’s just doing what it does best, for as long as it can.
