Primarily, I agree. But I became a bit uncertain when I recently saw the
support request from an Indian user who wanted to run on win98, which is
certainly even harder than NT.

I wonder how many people would not have the chance to try pgsql because
they can't afford a system that's sufficiently up to date.

We have limited resources, so we'll have to concentrate on main stream;
older platforms shouldn't restrict the functionality of the standard
installer.
OTOH, if somebody has the time to create support documents so
non-supported win32 platforms can be used too, this would be probably
appreciated.

My .02 social cents.

Andreas
