System compatibility, basically, is whether or not a program and/or file will work with your OS. (Windows or Mac or more specifically XP, Vista, 7 etc.) To my knowledge, the system compatibility feature was added to the Windows OS beginning with Windows XP. What this feature does is makes the file run as if it were on whatever OS you selected. This is a way (for instance) to install drivers that are available only for Windows XP on machines running Vista or 7.
