You shouldn't be impressed that existing apps continue to work, since that's the norm for Microsoft. It's all the other things they changed around and the subtly added "telemetry" spyware that should get your attention more. ;-)

Office 95 can run on Win10, with only a little difficulty:

As if that isn't already discussed to death around here or elsewhere. I see far more disdain for Microsoft than I do any praise at all. And while I'm not particularly happy with Microsoft either, I'm still able to appreciate the good things that they do.
