You're probably trying to use newer Windows versions on older

Windows became popular, because people had to use it at work. It was the
cheap alternative to easier/better systems. Only a small percentage of the
population wants to learn more than one system.
The bandwagon started rolling when "Gates Garbage" was chosen for IBM
business systems. The rest is history. The CP/M guy, Kildall, really
blew it in a meeting with the IBM guys. Otherwise, Kildall would be
Gates, and our Windows crowd would be loving CP/M. Ain't big glitches in
history grand?
At least, that's the way I remember it.
