Others have replied that the installer has a fix for the next release 
which will highlight this sooner. I would point out that we have 
gradually dropped support for *several* win32-based systems over the 
last few years, more or less following Microsoft's own deprecation 
regime. Win9x was dropped in 2.6; 2000 was dropped in 3.3.

There's a balance to be had in everything: every system we support adds 
some burden of maintenance. There's no pro-Linux conspiracy here: just 
the development team making pragmatic choices about maintenance and support.
