Well in my experience most of the computers running Windows 98/ME will not
have memory and processor capacity to handle modern application

I would bet money nothing will be backported, so our users will miss some long
awaited features and start moving to supported platforms, including new
versions of Windows.
So if we stop supporting Win98 we will drive sales for MS. I sure do not want
that.

Hi John, All,
I must support the request from Charles Schultz for more information
from the Martin (and the releases list) for more information on the
technical challenges of further support for OOo on Windows 98.

How do we feel aout this from a Marketing perspective?
I see no problems with abandoning '98 support. '98 and Me are way out of

Some thoughts:
