Maybe some of all the hundreds of API's it uses?

Windows Vista is based upon a totally different architecture and thus backward compatibility isn't assure for everything.

This is just the same as XP/NT isn't totally 100% compatible with 95... eg: With making a 16-bit program on XP you must be very carefull in choosing your API's and be carefull to explicitly make everything compatible. You can not simply assume everything is backwards compatible as it is certainly not. It all depends on what API's and what not you've used...

Even compatibily issue can arise between OS's of (almost) the same platform. Eg: some API's behave differently on 2K than on ME, or on XP, etc... Others have some small bugs in them on different versions... Other don't fully support what is otherwise supported on a specific version, etc... etc...

You'll quickly notice this if you browse thru the MSDN library...
