If we support XP, extending support to Windows 2000 or even NT 4.0
comes almost at no cost. IMO, there's no need to drop support for
platforms whose support doesn't impose any tangible maintenance
headaches.
Windows 9X can be easily recognized at run time, and the feature that
is the subject of this thread can be turned off then.
