You can take almost any 16-bit MS-DOS application of any vintage and run
it under 32-bit Windows 10. Microsoft take backwards-compatibility
seriously almost to a fault compared with Apple and the Linux distros.
Every OS moves/changes things with major releases.
But not with 64-bit.
Guess what came on my laptop. And it was the Home edition so
XP Mode would not run on it. Microsoft made XP Mode so it will not
run on non-Premium versions. Why did they do that? It appears they
skipped the backwards-compatibility and went straight to the fault.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
