Upgrading From Windows 1.0 To Windows 7

    And one of it's weaknesses. Imagine if you had to buy pants that have room for a diaper. Or that all cars had provisions for being drawn by a horse. Or every boat had a mast and sails.

    Backwards compatibility can become an impediment to a proper design.
