Not sure win95 is really a valid comparison. You can still write
software for it today if you wanted, and it's not as if MS ever tried
the keep the API secret or prevent others from developing for it.


You can also spin up a virtual machine to do it in.

Didn't some flavours of Windows 7 come with an inbuilt XP virtual
machine ?


It had windows virtual PC. Later supplanted by Hyper-V and Window
subsystem for linux.
