The application compatibility technologies of Windows XP fall into two distinct groups: the migration compatibility technologies that help migrate applications when upgrading from previous versions of Windows; and the compatibility fixes, compatibility modes, and Application Help that together support the installation and operation of applications on the Windows XP operating system. These technologies work by virtue of “matching information”—that is, the application-specific information that enables the operating system to identify applications and act appropriately, whether in administering compatibility fixes or delivering essential Help information to the user should there be a compatibility problem. Matching information for a given application may include the file name, its size, a checksum of the file’s contents, the file version, and similar kinds of data.
