Windows is extremely backwards compatible.
I run Finale 3.7 (16-bit Windows version for those who don't remember) on Win2K and WinXP. No font problems, no playback problems.
I have several really old DOS apps (probably written for V3 or V5) than I run several times a week. Their only problem is that they use the "shortened" file names of long file names.
Mac has always been: New versions? old apps won't run. My Mac SE is still running 6.x. It wouldn't run V7 because it doesn't have a hard drive.
Mac users have to be tough individuals to begin with, so they just suck it up ;-)
