Take a look at the Windows event log, you should have a section where the driver puts events caused by.NET.

While I agree with you, I'm recently having to support a complete application written in PHP. And at every turn I'm getting more and more surprised about how PHP is a shitty language for the task.
A good reason? Hum... How about "keeping the look you like the Firefox from more or less 3 years ago" ? The design of the most current version for me is a total clowning invented by people who do not have a clue how to make a useful interface.

There is no way you can argue logically with CEOs who are concerned only with a good quarterly report to ensure the golden parachute for them. Only bullets solves something in this situation.
The problem is in the details. When you buy a I7 Intel is selling you a processor with 4 cores and hyperthreading. When you buy a bulldozer from AMD it is selling it as 8 cores but it is actually a 4 cores with something similar to hyperthreading. AMD is deceiving the consumer because her design have not really 8 cores, is a 4 cores with hyperthreading.
Also, the compatibility mode you suggested did not work for me in my above example:
Well, is well known that not all applications can run in a compatibility mode, especially applications where the really sloppy developer did stupid things like put the path to a system folder in a hardcoded way or worse. Compatibility mode it's also a more efficient way to do the job and works in almost all cases, then why create a entire emulation (the VM) with the costs that this entails?
The point is that using a VM for this is a really expensive activity in terms of hardware resources and has only recently become feasible, remember that this compatibility mode was created when VMs were still just a really expensive idea and without no hardware assistance.
Well, why the user would migrate to Windows 7/8.1/10 in this situation? If he have only 256MB of RAM he could just continue with XP if it keeps working. And the simple fact that you can ask the system to use compatibility mode for a particular application is a valid form of support for legacy, as far as I know this way works and does not need to use a VM. And perhaps I was not clear enough, at any moment I'm saying that everybody has to migrate to Windows 10 (which is a disturbing deviation pattern of ways used so far successfully on Windows, I do not recommend to anyone that migration), I'm just saying that the one reason for the windows success is the ability to run legacy applications, I am not citing any particular version.
Dude, you are the only clueless moron here...:-) In the company where I work my colleagues laughed a lot when they saw your comment, you know? I will said again: Learn how to understand what others wrote, THEN try to comment my clueless friend;-)
Oh, P.S: I comment Using my ID because unlike you I have confidence in what I write. Grow up.
Oh boy... Your comment is so, so stupid it's no surprise that you've made it as AC. Learn to to understand what you are reading before you try to answer anything, as it is obvious to me that you did not understand nothing from what I wrote (or you did not want to understand, what is worse). Otherwise you would have realized that I not only know very well how to compile (and write code, by the way) as I was also talking about something completely different that it is the problems that you encounter when trying to solve obscure compilation problems in third-party code or code dependent from obscure/unstable libs. Now, take advantage of the momentum to make a reality check too, you are really needing one.
Oh, another thing. I work for the goverment/military, so i cannot be as unprofessional as you looks...
"Linux has very good backwards compatibility as peppepz pointed out"
You're making fun of me? Look, you are assuming several terribly wrong things:
The vast majority of linux software comes with sourcecode
Correct, but good luck trying to make it work. Things like Freetype2 are easy, now try to compile Firefox or LibreOffice (is a nightmare). And a tip: You are NOT the original developer of the thing (so if you do not have a really good documentation you will spend days trying to understand what's going wrong).
It's extremely rare that you would need to be using an old linux binary
Yeah, rigth. I have to develop and maintain a lot of things that do not have the privilege to keep changing libraries, especially libraries fucking unable to maintain compatibility between a smaller version and another.
You linux types keep forgetting the crucial detail that most of your users are NOT Linux developers or are not even developers, most of them DO NOT know how to build an application or can not waste time doing it, and those who try (like me) invariably run into some absurd compilation problem or dependency needs of those who can not understand the computer is not exclusive to his application.
And now you will suggest me to use a friendly distro for users, right? The problem is that this only works if the user limits itself to use only what exists in the repository, and only as long as the developer of the application that the user need maintains a professional attitude about compatibility. The moment you try to install something out of the repository like I did, and this thing is slightly more complex, you're screwed.
Backwards compatibility is a tiny niche for linux, hardly anyone ever uses it.
It is because of this that Linux is a niche system.

Windows response, a big red letter message:
"WTF?"
Four minutes. And glowing red :-D
I have Windows 10 on a VM for testing, and after the last updates it now do not accept my password as valid. Fail
Hahahahaha, very good :-D
I do not even try to be into a multiplayer game. It is not exactly healthy.
The only thing that they will be able to find out about me through my nickname is that I may be not human :-)

Worse. The programmer will be a millennial who will want to do the navigation control and decision making using Javascript. What can go wrong? :-)

Dammit. Fucking google translator, I meant that I would not recommend to anyone migrating to Windows 10
