I think this might be true. I saw some signs of that when I first
started looking into the ms-windows port.

The first intranet web-server I built was running on w9x. Due to
severe problem with ms word background conversion to html on this pc I
switched to experminenting on that old pc with nt4. To my surprise nt4
required a lot less resources so it ran much smoother on the old pc.
So I doubt that we need to support w9x because of old pc:s. But maybe
someone is running w9x just because they can't get their hand on nt4
or xp of course.
