My 2c is that I haven't seen any Win9x user using PHP for the past 3 or 4 years (that's one cent), and that the Zend range of products that supports Windows (including Studio, Optimizer and WinEnabler) requires Windows 2000 at minimum (even NT is not supported), and I don't recall a single complaint about it in the last 2 years (the 2nd cent). I'd say go for it. Zeev
