FWIW, I consider Apple a greater threat to freedom than Microsoft. This said, could you please move this thread elsewhere? W.r.t supporting old Windows versions, I think we should not try to support Windows-95 and if there's some code cleanup that can be made by getting rid of Windows-95-specific code, then please go ahead. Windows-98 support should maybe still stay for now. Stefan
