I agree that Windows does a better job of it than Linux. MS really does
pour enormous effort into backwards compatibility. You could
legitimately call it heroic - and it has paid off for MS.
Micsrosoft being incompatible with mostly everything, they sure can't
afford to not be compatible with themselves.
This is of strategic importance for microsoft. I don't think this is as
important for us as it is for microsoft (even if it is).
