Wrong. Not "were broken in recent versions of Windows", it is "are utterly broken since WinNT 4.0 at least." Been burned by it.

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,
