I just had a client a month ago negotiating for some work and he wanted to 
write into the contract that the program should work on Windows 98.  Yes, 98.  
Not only a HORRIBLE version, but 13 years old and officially unsupported for 9. 
 He tried to tell me the rationale and I basically told him it didn't matter 
*WHY*...  I couldn't target Windows 98, period.

... and there's NO END of companies who have standardized on IE6 and won't 
upgrade.

If a dozen smart, successful people who've achieved something great are all 
giving the same advice, take it.
