I see absolutely no reason to support an OS that Microsoft does not
support anymore,
I don't think that's a good reason, since XP is still extremely relevent
despite MS having pulled support. However...
Well, extended support for XP still lasts until 2014.
especially when it has such a negligible amount of users...
There's the good reason, along with the fact that 9x are really just such
bad OSes anyway and would be a royal PITA to support. *This* is why I don't
think we should bother to support 9x.
Yes... the OS APIs from those times were nightmare-ish. And the code in
druntime/phobos to support those OSes ain't exactly pretty...
