That's completely true. For the same reasons Mozilla developers dropped
support for 9x systems in Firefox 3.0 too.

As an ex-developer I know that handling _all_ Windows systems is hard
and time consuming. I wish RitLabs developers spent that time on more
important issues.

In my opinion it is the right time to move on. I checked stats on
couple of my websites and Win9x platforms uses about 0.32-0.75% of
the traffic only. I guess this number is even lower in rich developed
countries.

Also, Win9x users could still download and use older "frozen" version
of The Bat and Voyager that works with their system. This way they
will have a stimulus to upgrade. You can't have one computer for 10 year
without loosing something, you know :)
