Not sure who you're talking to (probably 20-somethings) but Microsoft is the champion of backward compatibility. They may have floundered recently but traditionally their adherence to old models has actually been a hindrance.

Yes, you got that right.

My first computer was a Timex 2068. Like many I eventually went through a love/hate relationship with Microsoft products, to eventually realise, that when compared with many enterprise companies, Microsoft is quite good.
