The speed at which this bus can pass data (typically 10MHz) is restricted to make it easier for card designers to achieve compatibility.

Lindows.com hopes to achieve full compatibility by tweaking the WINE software.

This is similar to use of microcode to achieve compatibility across a processor family.

So the question becomes: if we can achieve basic compatibility, why care about improving accuracy further when such improvement comes at a great cost in speed?

To achieve backward compatibility, each subsequent version is purely additive.

The genetic intervention had gone too far, achieving not just cross-species compatibility but something entirely unexpected: intelligence.

Many platforms rely on emulation, the simulation of an older platform in software, to achieve backward compatibility.

"Harmony follows in a well-established tradition of fully legal, independently developed paths to achieve compatibility."

We need to achieve compatibility between European legislation and national legislation, but national legislative provisions also need to be made compatible with each other.

Some Special Difficulties Achieving true compatibility among personal computers is more difficult in Japan than elsewhere.
