How do we feel about this from a Marketing perspective?
Some thoughts:
Not too fine, because I always like to say that one OOo can be used on
any (close to) version of windows. That argument becomes a little less
valid.
OTOH, Win98 is old, and Win98 users can still use OOo 2.4.1, which is
far better than MsO 2000.
And also: focussing on future and spending your resources on that, ís good.

Cor

All, since the efforts for supporting Windows98 and WindowsME are
reasonable high and makes maintainability of the code quite hard, I
would like to propose to drop Windows 98/ME support with the release of
OOo 3.0. Windows98 is also not supported by MS anymore and since we also
want to make use of some more advanced features of Vista I think we
should be in favor to support the move to new Windows version and drop
the old ones, Martin
