Hi Esa,
Maybe this is a good place to ask for opinions. Anyone have any or know of need to support old Windows versions? I am also curious if someone still writes software for pre-Windows 2000 NTs, as there's some nice API functions in Windows 2000.
"Effective July 11, 2006, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me (and their related components) will transition to a non-supported status. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide any incident support options or security updates. Microsoft is not offering a custom support agreement for these products." I think its perfectly reasonable to assume that people only run Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Anyone who is running anything older is either a) not connected to the internet, or b) full of spyware. Either way, running brand new GHC applications is unlikely to be top of their list of priorities. As a personal point of experience, when developing WinHugs I made it Win NT only, by accident. It was only a one line change to fix it, but it was a very long time before anyone complained, and trying to find a Win98 machine that could connect to the world was nearly impossible. Thanks Neil
