Huh? I've used all versions of Windows from 98 onwards, and things like Ctrl-Y/X/C/V/Z, Alt-F4, Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Alt-Del, etc have all worked extremely reliably.
The one exception is the keyboard shortcut for 'redo', which some applications like to bind to Ctrl-Y, and some others like to bind to Shift-Ctrl-Z.
Sure, later versions of Windows have added additional shortcuts like Win-Tab, Win-V (for clipboard history), Shift-Win-S (quick screenshot), Win-X (superuser menu, since Windows 8), but these are absolutely welcome additions.
