Daily reminder that Microsoft's devotion to backwards compatibility in Windows is legendary.

  As legendary as it is overstated. It's excellent for many common software, but for most specialty software, it's often lacking. Despite all the decades of cruft still supported by current Windows, especially 32 bit editions, there are still tons and tons of XPs and Server 2008s and NT boxes in the wild just to support software that would otherwise break.

    Yeah; and Wine is better at running many older games than Windows is.
