> Contrast this with Microsoft, where I am finding very old examples designed for Windows XP that still run today.

xp? Up until a couple years ago when I switched to 64bit windows (first computer I had with more than 4gm ram) I could still run win3.1 and dos programs in (32-bit) windows 7. Including dos programs designed for the very original ibm pc (1981!).

Even today with 64bit windows I can still run most windows 95 programs.
