Re: a lot of software that didn't work on Me
That software would typically fail to work in Windows 98 as well, as Me was not NT-based.
Microsoft made developers aware in advance that DOS-based Windows will be abandoned and that all development should proceed on NT.
Those that listened, moved to NT, and didn't give a hoot about supporting 9x in any meaningful manner.
There is one thing that Microsoft screwed up totally with Millennium Edition. It was released half a year after Windows 2000, and a lot of people expected it would be newer and better and incorporating NT/2000 technology.
Around late nineties, was Sage 100 actually supported on anything but NT?
