> The problem with Windows isn't backwards compatibility, the problem is that Windows 11 is Windows XP with lots of cruft added on top over the decades. It is not only cruft but also: 1 - Security. Lots of stuff that doesn't work it is because of features that couldn't be made secure and had to be removed from windows. 2 - Developers that used undocumented behavior that ended up being removed in modern windows versions, a lot of times because of the first item. Being undocumented behavior, it is a lot more probable that WINE doesn't implement it. And sometimes this was not a fault of the developer, but from a particular development environment and framework he used.
