Keeping ancient software working without rebuilding is quite impressive, to be fair.

Which ancient software?

All of them have been rebuilt IMO.

Windows Executables. For applications not touching hardware, they should still run on any newer version of Windows provided the Windows build still supports that instruction set. i.e. the original Windows 1.0 Hello World demo (16-bit exe compiled in Win 1.0) still runs on Windows 10 x32 [1].
