While I, too, deplore the idea that applications won't work across
different releases, it's been my experience that Windows suffers from
that as well.  And the extreme example of trying to use Windows 3.1
software on anything later than Windows 3.11 usually lands you with some
incredibly hideous to use software, if it works at all.
