Still having Win9x support in v1.0 will definitely be a plus point.
Not to mention Lazarus will be one up to Delphi, because their IDE
requires .NET to run, thus no Win9x. I have heard many complain about
that in the Delphi forums.

I still fire up my Win98 VM's on a regular basis - it definitely has
its uses. Plus it's super light on resources compared to today's OS's.

I've often consider starting such a Linux live CD, just never got
around to it, and didn't have the bandwidth to host such downloads.
