Incorrect. While there are some similarities, the entire structure is different, the exposed API is different,and most importantly, many of the security holes and weaknesses have been removed.
Compatibility issues with software often arises because programmers wrote code that either (a) didn't use the API correctly, or (b) purposely bypassed the API or abused holes that existed in that API. Many of the programs that use their own programming to directly deal with networking issues (to communicate) are totally fucked because all of those holes have been plugged.
Remember, windows 3.1 was just ms-dos with a nice graphic display.
