- kaetemi 7y agoI had some selection rendering issues in Excel, and Word is reporting some kind of registry corruption on startup. Otherwise, works fine.
- tinus_hn 7y agoThere are special workarounds, many of the old installers run a small piece of 16 bit code which doesn’t work in 64 bit Windows but because it’s so common Windows just runs a replacement version.

(both their resources and the users', there's a crazy amount of checking for necessary compatibility hacks going on whenever an executable is started)
