Not that I think they will. :( too much for outdated products Wait, wait. What does that mean exactly?  Does that mean that at some point the V2s will become unusable?   Or are you just saying "lifespan" and meaning like before those Vocaloids become retired?

And I thought V2 voicebanks could be imported into V3. And V3 voicebanks can be imported into V4, right? What about V2 -> V4 though? Would the V2 voicebank have to be imported into V3 and then have that be imported into V4? Or could a V2 voicebank be imported directly into V4 and still work?

I still haven't found out if V2 will still work on Windows 10. they are outdated in that they are V2's and in that they will have issues in windows 10 as V1's have in earlier versions of Windows. I believe importing them helps, but V2's are old and Yamaha has no obligation to support VB's that are old and unlikely to be bought as much as new VB's.
