It's the same in Windows world. I know one case where vendor two years ago (that's 2003, folks!) finally started to support... what ? Windows 2003 ? Windows XP ? Windows 2000 ? No! Windows NT 4.0SP6a!!! Yup - till that time they only supported "Windows NT 4.0SP5"! Situation is quite similar to Linux versions, right ?

I know of one vendor who is *at this moment* in the process of porting their application from Windows 3.1 (with 16-bit DLLs and everything) to Windows 2000.
On the other hand, at this moment the old Windows 3.1 binaries do work on Windows 2000 if you install all the relevant backward DLLs...I wish the major Linux distributions made it easier to do that.
