I could do without the hyperbole and the tone, but personally, I am sympathetic to people wanting to run Blender on older systems. And not just because I have a purple SGI Indigo2 out in the garage... Microsoft stopped mainstream support for Win2k back in June 2005, about half a decade ago. This is a long time in computer years. Graphics card vendors are not going to support new or maybe even current OpenGL features for an out-dated OS. IIRC, this was why Windows ME fell off our radar long ago. The main issue for us is having someone to be the platform maintainer. They will also need to do some testing and likely need to create patches to keep the code running on their box, as well as doing release builds. If no one steps up to do this, it will not happen. That is the way Open Source works. -- Stephen Swaney sswa...@centurytel.net _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
