"On beta versions of Windows 95, SimCity wasn't working in testing. Microsoft tracked down the bug and _added specific code to Windows 95 that looks for SimCity_. if it finds SimCity running, it runs the memory allocator in a special mode that doesn't free memory right away. That's the kind of obsession with backward compatibility that made people willing to upgrade to Windows 95."
