Alex Ionescu, one of the lead developers behind the ReactOS project, has published a detailed article on the XP/Vista application compatibility system. "For the last few days, I've been intimately becoming aquainted with a piece of technology in Windows XP and Vista that rarely gets the attention it deserves. It has raised my esteem and admiration towards Microsoft ten fold, and I feel it would be wise to share it, publicize it, and then of course, find (positive) ways to exploit it to turn it into a powerful backend for various purposes."

The huge amount of work by which Microsoft provides backward compatibility even to bad-written apps is impressive.
If it wasn't about maintaining an iron-gauntleted grip on the "naughty bits", I could probably see past the agony to be impressed.
This has been your mildly tasteless imagery installment for the day.
You are welcome.
