Curry, FWIW when I had an issue with RunRev on Windows 98 I got some similar responses - one of which pointed out that Microsoft itself had abandoned the OS - but I knew that there were many people out there wanting to use my stuff that were still using W98 and likely to continue for some time.(6. And this should be parenthetical because it is not the issue--this is not about my personal computing happiness or me "holding out" on 10.1. My intent is to make apps for others and I want to know that the minimum requirements I list are accurate. I would rather (if I can afford it) have the latest system on a new computer than to upgrade this one. Okay? :-) No need to worry about me personally, I'll be fine and I could upgrade if I choose, but that wouldn't solve this issue at all, in fact it would make it worse in the big picture, as far as Rev's compatibility is concerned. This is not about me, but about Rev and the apps we make with it.)
What I think RR might perhaps do is to give developers (us) some pre-warning of their intention to drop an old OS or an old minimum system requirement like RAM or screen size - saying for example you've got 6 months to persuade your customers to upgrade. This could be useful from a marketing point of view, I think.

Sadly, even we Brits don't know what farthings are any more. You used to get them in change when you bought a loaf of bread when I was young (the price was fixed by the government), but farthings went the way of all flesh when we decimalised in 1971.
