Primarily, I agree. But I became a bit uncertain when I recently saw the 
support request from an Indian user who wanted to run on win98, which is 
certainly even harder than NT.

I wonder how many people would not have the chance to try pgsql because 
they can't afford a system that's sufficiently up to date.

We have limited resources, so we'll have to concentrate on main stream; 
older platforms shouldn't restrict the functionality of the standard 
installer.
OTOH, if somebody has the time to create support documents so 
non-supported win32 platforms can be used too, this would be probably 
appreciated.

My .02 social cents.

Andreas
