tbh no ͝ ͟ ͜
A lot of aging software that is no longer maintained is completly non-compatible with newer versions of windows, especially if it has associated hardware. Note how most systems at dental and doctor offices are on XP and other aging systems (unless they're a newer practice).
Yeah, Windows isn't that backward compatible.
Also, another example of this (it may just be wine development, not sure) but typically programs run in wine work better in XP mode over anything newer. Of course you don't get nearly as nice performance as you're emulating portions of an OS over an OS as a software layer. Eugh. (WoW runs decently well though, it's passable)
