Are the OO developers also neglecting Windows 95 and
3.1? All of those you noted are also NOT supported by
Microsoft.
The normal and accepted standard is for "third party
prviders" to drop support for "out of print" Operating
Systems.
When the originator ceases to support, update,
upgrade, their products, there is often no recourse,
nor any responsibility on the "Third Party Providers".
More good reasons to stick with Open Source Software!
