Good reason to have multiple machines at multiple levels.
I have a dust covered laptop somewhere that has WIN 3.1 on it.

Wow... and I thought I was bad for keeping an old Win95 machine going.

These days I do stuff like that in VMs, though. The old OSes sometimes fail to load in newer PC hardware.

A W98SE machine w/ Office 97 would be a decent fallback, too.
