Incompatible? With what?
If it doesn't work for Quattro Pro for Windows 3.1, and 131 other programs just like it, it doesn't matter! So some examples of the incompatibilities, and their effects would be useful.
Most of these "incompatibilities" have been things like Windows blocking a port that is improperly used by some program (because of a lazy or inept programmer). They can be easily fixed as described above--simply unblock the port.
As for blanket statements, let me make one: if it runs on Windows 2000 (SP3 or SP4) and/or Windows XP (RTM, SP1 or SP1a), it will almost always run on XP SP2. I'd say that this is more probable than "dark and scary" effects.
