almost.
There are some APIs that many wind 95/98 apps depended on that are broken in recent versions of windows.

What APIs are broken? Appcompat issues are important.

Anything WordPerfect relies on? My version - certified for W2K iirc, doesn't work very well on XP. And my old version, that runs fine on Win9x, is totally broken on XP :-( I don't think I can even install that newer version on 7.
A lot of my wife's programs - sold as "runs on everything Windows" in the Vista days, is now broken on 7. And because we've got the Home version, running it in XP-compat mode isn't an option :-(
Cheers,
