If it's true (big IF, 60% is very unlikely) it wouldn't be a bad thing to break with the legacy parts of the code. Backward compatibility is way way over-rated.
If you have an older machine there is no value in running newer version of the OS on them. I have a variety of machines running a variety of OS's XP, 2000, Linux, Solaris.
If you have an older machine you're probably not using it for anything that needs upgrading anyway so stick with an OS as well as Apps that are better suited to the machine.
