    It’s funny how conservative Windows is, it still has components from the NT.

    That calling: ensuring things are compatible with old software and not fucking your users over. Just for fun I tried to install Photoshop 6 from 2000 on Windows 11 and it works just fine. Same goes for MS Office 2003.

      Windows has huge lists of quirks that are hardcoded for specific programs to maintain compatibility.
