> I don't see how anyone can reasonably argue that Windows isn't a whole lot better than Linux at that. My colleague is wondering how can he install latest copies of Office and Visual Studio Express on Windows XP SP2 for quite some time, without success. |

Reliable platform means, that new versions of OS do not break your old program. Which is true for windows.
Of course, as OS becomes more capable, it's possible to write programs that can't work on less capable older versions. But even then, windows tries to add fallbacks so that most new programs still work on old versions.
