I don’t like Microsoft Windows at all, but you are absolutely right about doing a good job with backwards compatibility.

Linux isn’t so backwards compatible, but with much of it having open source code, you can often compile it again yourself—tho having been written in a language that offers good backwards compatibility also helps.
