A small consolation is that you can;

1. Use VirtualBox to install old versions of Quartus (inside old OSes if necessary)

2. "Share" your local hard drive, so that you can access source files without having to copy them to the VM

3. "Capture" a USB-Blaster if you want to download and or debug from within the VM.

Though it might be possible to download and run something like SignalTap II with a newer version of Quartus ... I have not tested this option.

I've been using this scheme to deal with FLEX10K designs (Quartus 9.0sp2), so I guess I'll just add a few more VMs ... :)

Cheers,
