That's a valid question, technically speaking. But practically, I don't see much value in figuring it out, other than academical curiosity. Running a program that is known to already work under a given host OS, then lying to it (via compatibility settings) that it's running under a different (version of the) OS has definite pitfalls. Basically you are asking Windows to insert an unnecessary proxy layer between the program and the OS, and trust that proxy to catch all system calls, "fix" them, and return consistent results across the board.

Cheers,
Liviu
