I am obviously not including the latest games or high-end dev/server
software in that, though even then the barrier to operation is the
hardware rather than the OS. It's only this year that the major MS 
suites are leaving those two OSes behind - Office XP will happily 
install on Win98 but Office 2003 won't, and VS.net 2002 will go onto NT4 
but VS.net 2003 won't.
