Windows 11 won't install those 25 year old programs anymore. Wine will.
Depends on the program. I've got a handful of that old on CDs that still install fine. Checked when I was backing them up to ISO. There's little bits of weirdness and unintended behavior while running them now, but they still install and run to a fairly acceptable degree.
That experience varies wildly though. Wine tends to handle things better and more consistently.
