Hello All,
Small specification, actually you can't run 16-bit programs under Window 2000/XP/Vista and 7 at all. The NT kernel doesn't provide that. Win 95/98/ME is not a NT kernel based operating systems, this kernel called 9.x and it's provides 16-bit application running.
If you talks about console applications, actually it's just usual programs where main function (program entry point) looks like this int main() (or int _tmain() in case of new MS compiler). This application can have own windows, use network and a lot of regular Win32 API functionality, unlike DOS 16-bit programs.
Wrong. That's what "Compatibility Mode" was designed for. Not all, but
an awful lot of 16 bit programs can be run on the NT kernel. Those that
access hardware directly usually fail.
