This was a helpful exploration of a very difficult, neglected, but vitally important area. A report from this meeting has just been issued, and you can find a summary, a pointer to the full report, and pointers to other materials related to the meeting at http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2013/10/preserving-exe-report-toward-a-national-strategy-for-preserving-software/ Clifford Lynch Director, CNI
