Hello all.
Regarding the "critical mass": I'm the one who downloads BIND from XP box
and I do it just to set it up on internal Linux machine. The reason to use
XP as PC OS is company's policy and lack of money after all. :)
P. S.: I can not imagine any user of BIND to even try to run it from
Windows machine but I think if it is possible to provide Windows XP builds
and there are still plenty of BIND users running Windows XP (Even if it is
botnets. Bontnet is just a piece of software like Windows XP or BIND. Why
do you want to drop botnet support?) there is a reason to build binaries
for Windows XP. Still it is all about money. Not everyone are able to pay
Microsoft for the new OS. And there might be legacy software too. Why do
users have to update and break everything if it works for them? So, my
final answer is: "Don't drop the Windows XP binaries if it's technically
possible to build them."

so your whole OS is legacy, there is running other legacy software - why
would you then need BIND as the one and only non-legacy software on that
box?
