Ed, It wasn't that you were not clear. I was just curious and wanted to know other's sentiments as to how long Millennia is expected to support older OS's. I guess I should have stated that a little more clearly.
I still have Win98SE on an older computer (PIII/550 - 512 MB ram)at home just for testing of other software. However, I have switched to XP for my main OS. I have a Sony laptop with XP sp2, a Centrino processor running at 1.8 GHz and 512MB RAM and am having no technical problems with Legacy and many other apps running together. With the thousands of possible hardware / driver combinations for today's computers and older flavors of PC's, it is hard to track down issues with older OS's and maintain good functionality with the newer OS's.

I wasn't asking for support of old releases per se. What I do expect, however, is clear, prior noticifation that it *isn't* tested or supported on a particular release - especially one that *many* people still run. Or to phrase it differently, that it was only tested on a particular release. After all, not everyone can/will spend potentially $100 or more for an OS upgrade if what they currently have is working (not to mention the grief in actually updating - third party software, etc. which also may cost significant $$$). I know you can get XP cheaper after rebates, but "cheap" is a relative term. They don't call them M$ for nothing. In my case, I already have the upgrade to XP Home sitting in it's box next to my PC. Frankly, I've been putting off the upgrade due to the grief factor. I fully realize that my PC is "old" in PC years, but it's been working fine and, up to now, I have had absolutely no reason to change anything. At any rate, either there was no notification about potential problems with Legacy V6 on Win98, or I missed it. If Millennia decides not to support Win98, just tell us so that we, too, can make educated decisions before we spend the money.
