I mean its a successful commercial project because it doesnt break things, at least not that often. You can run some really old software on windows. Its kind of taken for granted, but this is just not the norm is most industries.

As for baffling, I mean, I type in things like 'grep' everyday which is a goofy word. I'm not even going to go into all the legacy stuff linux presents and how linux, like windows, tries hard not to break userland software.
