Let's say we are happy with the fact that we do not need to carry _all_
over the backwards compatibility stuff like Windows does. We can do it
with a few compat-*.rpms, compat symbols (`nm /lib/libc.so.6 | grep @@`
and you will see). There is no problem with vendors shipping source code
(we can recompile), and even with vendors choosing not doing so provide
quite static binaries (e.g. DialogBlocks, Unreal Tournament) or compat
environments (VMware), which also works. Anything I prefer over the
Compat and DLL Hell in Windows.
