Wasn't that why they bought Virtual PC? The idea was that anything that wouldn't run in the new system would be able to run in the Virtual PC machine until the app was upgraded to run in the new OS. That's what Apple did when they transitioned to OS X: 'Classic' apps ran in their own memory space, and while they could crash each other, they couldn't touch OS X apps.
