Abstract
This paper examines software companies’ decisions to introduce new software following cessation of support for the old version of the platform. Software companies and platform companies develop their own strategies for the release of a new product. Since software is running on a platform, platform obsolescence may affect software release strategies. I examined how software companies change their release strategies after old versions of platforms become obsolete. When software operates on multiple platforms, such as Windows and Mac, how do software companies’ release strategies differ? Using data from the software market, I found that software companies release software more frequently when the old platform becomes obsolete and that mature software was released more frequently than other software. I also found that software running on multiple platforms have different release speeds on each different operating system.
