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.

Are there specific code areas in mind that would be ripped out for this or is this mainly to avoid having to test on and ensure new code is compatible with?
