Not Windows 95, sure, but the Windows world moves at a much slower pace than Fedora, especially among non-technical users. Windows 7 and 8 are still out there. Even XP. That's why I consider the 32-bit MSVCRT binary the primary release of my Windows software: I can be sure it'll run on whatever ancient system it might end up on.
