The OS may not be "supported" in the sense of being able to get technical support, but you can still build programs that run on Win98 using Visual Studio 2010. I think the big difference here is that Microsoft takes backwards compatibility very seriously, Apple, apparently, doesn't. So I don't see anything wrong with DMD taking support for older platforms more seriously on Windows than on Mac. --bb
