Both linux and windows have ABI problems. Windows because they have changed the API's completely. That's why you see games on GOG being distributed with DirectX based engines instead of DirectDraw or how you call those things. (See problems with divine divinity).
So yes, they both have problems. Windows slightly less than linux.
But the thing that *always* works, and only keeps on getting better is old windows games with wine on linux. I can run games on my linux box that do not run on windows. That's a fact.
