In theory, there can be "special" things:
1. Using of native dlls - they are different from version to version.
Sorry, but Wine dlls do not implement 100% of WinAPI (I do not mention
that WinAPI is not strictly defined thing)
2. Using native OS apps (notepad.exe) - they can use "special" APIs
provided by particular version of OS.
3. Using of "OS version"-specific APIs by 3rd party apps
4. Using different file formats. For example, are registry files same in
Win9x, WinNT, Win2000, etc...?

That's exactly what notepad.exe from Win2000 does on my machine.

That's why I asked the question. Could anyone please help me with
debugging notepad.exe? Any screenshots/logs/info are guaranteed.

Thanks for comments,
