Replying on this list, too ;)
The win "minimum requirements" are a bit strange in that it is a list of
all versions since XP (except Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, and
Windows 8!?!?).
Perhaps just leave the 98... when people see that they'll probably start
to complain their system isn't mentioned if they hadn't read "minimum
requirements" correctly, but well...


Thanks a lot,
