It's a simple matter of emprical evidence. Windows 98 when I last
used it supported newer software far more than the Linux Distros
released at the time. I could run early versions of Firefox on
Windows 98SE, as well as Windows 3.1 software from the early 90s.
I never said it wasn't without its problems, but show me a system
which had better backwards compatibility?
