Pros and cons.

I'd rather have old software run on a new OS and hardware.

Than access to old OS and hardware to run the software.

Simply because that means you're not reliant on obselete hardware (expensive poor performance hard to find) and potentially a OS full of security holes.

Similarly I'd rather have to use a VM at compile than run time. For convenience.
