Microsoft did. Why don't we? Are there plans on dropping support for these ancient OSs instead of kludging backwards compatibility into the system? I looked in the Windows source recently and I by the comments ("On Windows NT...") some of that code it pretty old. Now, that doesn't mean it doesn't work but I am just wondering if the entire Windows API hasn't evolved in areas that we could take advantage of. Also, I think the longer one waits the harder it will be if Micro$oft at some point moves on with its API in a way that breaks compatibility with non-supported OSs (which is basically anything older than Windows 2000 and probably soon to be XP).How is this not a concern anymore? We didn't stop supporting Windows 9X, did we?
Just curious, Christoph
