I think we need to decide whether we want to continue supporting vanila
win95 or not. I personally would be in favour of not supporting it any
longer. I think it unlikely that there are any users who still run win95
and do not have IE >= 4 (and if there are and do not feel like it is
time to upgrade to something else, well, there is always AW 2.0).
The question of backward compatibility is, at least on win32, quite
significant. I would, for example, love to be able to use PrintDlgEx
instead of PrintDlg, but it is only available from w2k onwards, and I do
not want to stop supporting win98 yet (we could decide what to use at
runtime, but that kind of code is pain in the neck for debugging and
maintance).
I think we need some objective mechanism for deciding which platform can
be abandoned. I wonder if we could ask each person as they dowload AW to
put down what OS's they intend to use it on (the webstats are not
indicative in this regard, lot of folk download stuff at work, and use
different OS at home).
