So it's complete bullshit that Microsoft have made newer versions Windows incompatable with old programs to force people to upgrade!
So Microsoft has bent over backwards to ensure old programs work on newer Windows is one of the things that's fucked it up.

Kintaro:
1. God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!
2. O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all!
3. Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign;
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!
4. Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world over.
5. From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!
6. Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the King!

Indeed. Having a proper security model for default windows installation would easily lead to a lot of old applications just simply not working at all, because these applications expect a lot of things from the system. This is the reason microsoft is providing a retarded setup for everyone.
I wish they'd provide edition in which they configure things THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE, and call it "developer edition" or something, and not target it for home users. This way we could have the good windows system we want, and applications developed on it would work on both proper configuration and the fucked up home editions. Once enough applications have been fixed, reconfigure the home edition.
I'm sure a lot of you guys have seen the XP SP2 related rants about how microsoft is purposedly breaking other people's applications. Conspiracy theorists just never learn, eh? XP SP2 has been one of the boldest steps by microsoft, because it purposedly broke backwards compatibility for a lot of applications, to make some things the way they ought to be. Microsoft's own apps broke too.
However, people are now bitching that SP2 sucks because they have to run some legacy apps and simply can't upgrade. Running old version of oracle perhaps? Tough luck, no patch available, either pay $100k for new version or don't install SP2. That's what happens when backwards compatibility is sacrificed for security. Fix design and you do wrong, let broken design live and you do wrong. Lovely situation for them, huh?
