[JAWSLite] Re: Jaws 10 and Windows 2k

I would also think that the more coding there is for different versions
would create conflicts within the software and then people would also be
complaining  because of these conflicts.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect the reason for dropping support of 
Windows 2K is primarily to save cost with respect to testing and 
support. If software products continue to support older versions of the 
OS, hardware and applications then the test/support matrix becomes huge 
and unmanageable.
