Issue 1. [Re: [ros-general] ROS-User-Issues]

Issue 1

Telstra Bigbond has announced that they are following Microsofts plan to drop  support for Windows98 fron 17th August this year. 
It is clear that Microsoft is no longer supporting backward compatability, only forward.
These are two entirely different Technologies, both at the OS and at the File level.
If ReactOS policy is to be plug compatibe with Windows, how does ReactOS plan to deal with it?

Cheers and rosuccess

I don't think we're affected in any way as ReactOS never intended to be
compatible to Win 9x. We're only focusing on NT.

Seems to me like you missed the point (or I did)

It's about updates, patches for win98 and their current apps still 
working on win98
