except 16bit programs (which also don't work on Vista x64) but they're very rare (TSK installer is one of the few I encountered)

Well you know all this trouble with Vista - that almost no program older than a year works on it? It's worse on Vista x64..
Besides, how does this differ from the Windows XP scenario, it also broke a huge deal of legacy applications, yet nowadays people are no longer whining about that?
And I don't see why Vista x64 would have lower compability than Vista x86 has when running legacy 32bit applications, have yet to encounter a single game where Vista x64 is the problem.
But on XP x64 almost everything just works - except 16bit programs (which also don't work on Vista x64) but they're very rare (TSK installer is one of the few I encountered)

That said, I still don't like Vista. At the moment I way prefer XP. But compatibility is only one of the smaller issues with Vista; other things like performance, cost, etc. are important to me too.
Lewin.
Lots of progress can also be made without major loss of compatibility.. such as from XP x86 to XP x64
But it's an other kind of progress, breaking changes are always breaking unless you add to the compat layers which will bloat things up, non breaking changes can still be good progress (like the new Explorer)
The reason Any x64 OS has lower compatibility with 32bit programs is that most 32bit programs aren't made with x64 in mind - they launch the 32bit explorer (and only install shell extensions for the 32bit explorer) and see only half the registry and refuse to save anything in the normal "Program Files" directory, things like that. It's worse when they think they have to install drivers - they just won't work then.

Sometimes it's more stupid that compatibility - I had a bug in all of my tools with several WinXP users back when I was coding on WinME. For some weird reason WinXP added extra whitespace at the end of GetCurrentDir command (e.g. "c:\windows\ "). So I had to make extra wrapper to make sure there are no whitespaces. How stupid is that
They took out 16bit programs on Vista x64 on purpose.
Of course it is annoying sometimes.. but not very often
Paths with whitespaces on the end shouldn't matter, they are ignored.
