3 If you want specific examples:
4 - directx version is specifically not available on old windows for the purpose of obsolescence
5 - .NET 4.0+ is not available on old windows XP for the purpose of obsolescence
6 - new version of MS project files cannot be open in older ms project despite not offering more options
7 - from time to time some connectors change without changing wire spec - just to obsolete some stuff
