As an example of backwards compatibility that was finally nixed due to costs. The PS3 is a prime example. The costs were humongous to begin with in keeping backwards compatibility with the PS1 and PS2, thats why they (Sony) finally nixed it.
Now with Microsofts Windows Vista, They are indeed trying to keep as much compatibility as possible, (do you really think that they want their consumer base to be mad at them and to then switch to some other OS?) while still trying to reach out to the main customer base as possible. But when it comes down to a software application from say 1998 that only a couple dozen people from around the world still use, it would be a waste of time and resources to make it compatible, with Vista.
The "not working on any version of Vista"-list is a little bit longer ;).
