no, only few apps are requesting and forcing users to have a CPU with SSE2, even when a good programmer know that SSE2 can be completely optional inside the code.

the only reason to force the usage of SSE2 is related with hardware's programed obsolescence.

LOL, forcing! you're obviously not a coder, the benefits of newer code are clear as I outlined above, you don't keep things the same way forever like you obviously want them to.

You're so absolutely wrong, you have no idea. it's just natural progression and only because it negatively impacts you do you think it's otherwise, which is laughable in the extreme.

You really do need to get a clue.

as coder I perfectly know that SSE2 can be programmed as optional, so there is no reason to make it forced.

Of course it can but do you create separate code paths for every program you make? Have you even coded large programs and understand how much effort it can be to maintain

that code and even create it in the first place? It's not trivial... otherwise everyone would do it would they not?

yes, and for SSE2 implementation is not a big deal to make it optional, is the same way as is for SSE, MMX, or even 3DNow.
