I think your 10,000 foot view is off by a few miles..

Well Vista dropped dos and win16 compat. win3.0 + 95 didnt have "dos compatability" they ran/required dos. XP did have a compat layer. two very different things.

I think your kinda looking at things wrong.

There is win16 (windows 3.x), win32 and win64. Vista doesnt have win xp + win95 compatability. It has win32 compatability (if its a win64 os) or it _is_ win32 (nt4/2k/xp/vista 32bit editions).

the 10,000 foot view would be "win16/win32/win64"

saying powerpc compat is not like saying "can run system6 executable" which is what you are saying with "dos compat".

you also missed a box underneath doscompat "cpm/86 compatability"
