Honestly, it seems like it would be easier to contribute Dev time to WINE and just start all over with a new incompatible version of Windows.
Windows/Microsoft's biggest selling point is the backwards compatibility though. It has been the corner stone of their software development.
The point being you build something new and run the crusty compatible stuff in a sort of “virtual machine”.
