Martin and I were talking about dropping support for older versions of Windows (of the non-NT flavor). We both thought that it was reasonable to stop supporting Win9x (including WinME) in Python 2.6. I updated PEP 11 to reflect this.

The Python 2.5 installer will present a warning message on the systems which will not be supported in Python 2.6.

Hey, someone even wanted to continue supporting DOS...
