M$ spends a good amount of $$$ to keep older apps running.
They don't.
Infact, Microsoft literally tries to exterminate old software by repeatedly reimplementing basic tools (see DirectX, Windows Vista and Windows 7), that become more and more incompatible with old versions. And trust me, Microsoft does
not give a shit about old software.
Windows has, other than Linux, a binary compatibility layer, that essentially never changed since Windows 3, and is what makes it possible to run old Windows programs almost without any changes.
But consider the age of Windows and Linux - compared to Windows, Linux is a
really young operating system.
Yes. Apple does what Linux not.
You clearly have not the slightest clue what kind of shit you write, really.
Protip: Try to inform yourself what Rosetta really is.
