Their record remains pretty good for well-behaved software. I've been
producing the same stuff for Windows since NT 3.51 days. The only time
I've had compatibility trouble was at Vista, where a bug we'd had for
years that did not provoke problems on XP or older started showing up.
And that was our own fault.
