Well IIRC, ME was released after Windows 2000. But that's irrelevant.
Regardless of them being "old", it's still a good idea to support them, as
many of my music friends say that Windows 98 is the best version of Windows
for audio. I'm not saying we should support every OS on the planet, but
Windows is obviously one of the most common platforms being used, and if we
exclude Windows 9x users, that'd potentially be a lot of users being
excluded.
But like I said before, Windows 9x and 2000/XP are very similar in terms of
API, so I guess they could be "unofficially supported" (meaning they aren't
guaranteed to be compatible, but you might have some success using GMPI with
them...)
