> Windows can run an executable with a GUI interface compiled for 32-bit Windows over 20 years ago... Linux can also run really old code that is 16-17+ years old: Loki Software games ports from 1998-1999. Though there just no need for average user to run anything that old so it's usually not available out of box.
