We had to write a conversion function that took an illegal 16-bit function call and converted it to the corresponding illegal 32-bit function call. This is just the tip of the iceberg with respect to application compatibility.

It so happened that they appeared in the order X,Y,Z in all the versions of Windows this software company tested against. Except Windows 2000. In Windows 2000, the compiler decided that the order should be X,Z,Y. So now they grovelled in, saw the "X" and said "Aha, the next thing must be a Y" but instead they got a Z. And then they crashed your system some time later. So I had to create a "fake X,Y" so when the program went looking for X (so it could grab Y), it found the fake one first.

и что? единичный факт что-то меняет. можно подумать, мало программ, которые сломались после очередного service pack'а.
