Some 9x applications can be run on later systems like Windows XP because of a feature Microsoft developed called '''Windows on Windows'''(often shortened to '''WoW''') is a feature developed by Microsoft that allows 16-bit programs to run in 32-bit environments, or (more commonly) 32-bit programs in 64-bit environments. However, support is very poor This means some games designed for 3.x and 649x can be run on any 32-bit versions of Windows don't . However, software support it (because Windows on Windows refers seems to 32-bit program support instead). Selecting be very poor and while selecting Windows 95 or Windows 98 in compatibility mode may help, and most consider Windows XP will to get the best compatibility, but it's best to use XP in a dual boot setup (or in a virtual machine instead) since even though it's no longer officially supported unsupported by Microsoft.
