In this article "'''Legacy systems'''" means unsupported by manufacturer/developer. This includes home computers (such as '''[[#Commodore 64|Commodore 64]]'''), operating systems and series of operating systems no longer receiving support (such as the '''[[#Windows 9x|Windows 9x]]''' series of operating systems). This does NOT include emulators for discontinued [[:Category:Emulators on handhelds|handhelds]] or [[:Category:Emulators_on_consoles|consoles]], or operating systems supported by their developers (Such as [[Windows]] or [[Linux]]).
The reason to discontinuing these products varies. In the case of home computers the reason support ends is due to the outdated hardware and lack of foreseeable money from supporting it. For operating systems it varies from lack of profit/lack of commercial success (such as '''[[#BeOS|BeOS]]''', '''[[#OS/2|OS/2]]''') to devices it was for becoming outdated or failing themselves (such as '''[[#BlackBerry|BlackBerry OS]]''').
