In practice, this is probably correct (Microsoft cares a lot about backward compatibility, and many programs depend on MSVCRT.DLL).

However, the official word from Microsoft is that MSVCRT.DLL is only intended for operating system components to use, not user applications. For example, see Raymond Chen's blog on the subject. [1]
