Running Nonnative Applications in Windows 2000 Professional

Although Windows 95 and Windows 98 are not designed for the same user requirements as Windows 2000, you might want to create applications on one system and run them on another. Windows 2000 does not require a special environment for this purpose. Applications based on Windows 95 and Windows 98, along with those from earlier versions of Windows NT, run on the Win32 subsystem.

To run Windows 2000–based applications on Windows 95 and Windows 98, see the documentation for those applications.
