Does it still run 30 year old apps? I was under the impression that a lot of DOS and Windows software from the 1990s ran better under Wine than on Windows.

This is true, especially for games. But for some reason, even though some compatibility features have been removed from windows, others still remain. Hell, if you look into System32, you can still find the dialer app from windows 95 (still with its original icon, btw!), or Windows Vista's "bubbles" screensaver, and they still run.

Edit: this is not a windows praise, it's a critique. Those parts are dead weight, and windows isn't even that good at offering compatibility for old software
