Agreed, but sooner or later it will.. Andi, why (specifically) did Zend drop win98 support?
We haven't dropped Win98 support for all products. There are some technical reasons we aren't supporting Windows 98 officially for the Studio only but they might be resolved at some stage.
The PHP5 build system doesn't work because batch files created for w2k and friends don't work on dos.. that's the _only_ reason currently, it's still possible to build on win98 so long as you run a bunch of stuff from the commandline first.
Most Windows users don't build PHP by themselves so it doesn't matter.
