How many people are seriously using Win9x with PHP?
There are quite a few APIs that are either server-only or Win2k and up
that PHP would benefit from using. Before we just go ahead and use
them (breaking support for Win9x) I thought it would be a good idea to
find out how many people this will affect.
So, if you use, or know of someone that uses PHP on Win95, Win98 or
WinME, please add a comment to my blog [1] (so that we don't spam the
mailing lists with it) explaining why, so we can guage how much of an
impact bumping the version requirements for PHP would have.
Thanks!

WIn95 Support was already dropped some time ago, wasn't it?

Windows 98, ME and NT are still supported. I guess Wez was asking if we should
make Windows 2000 minimum requirement, which I think we should.

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.
