Nearly all
I can't think of any Win95 application that doesn't run in XP. What applications do you have that don't work any more?

I even have Windows 3.11 and DOS applications that I still run. Not all run, but there are just as many Microsoft applications that don't run as there are from any other vendor. And it's mostly DOS applications that don't work any more, which is only to be expected. All things considered, Microsoft's backward compatibility has been excellent (as well as the source of many headaches).
