Hello,
I am a blind user using Jaws for Windows 3.3 (that is screenreading
software). Upgrading to newer version of this software is expensive, and I
have no afford to upgrade. My old version doesn't support reading winxp,
but supports reading win98 screens. That was answer to question, why
someone wouldn't want to upgrade to winxp.
regards, Markku
No worries, the cygwin project leader already confirmed that Win9x
support won't be dropped. In my country, Win 9x is still popular and at
home, we've still got win9x boxes which we won't change for the simple
reason that they ain't broke.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Carlo
