That's probably fair enough. Building on win32s sounded pretty good at the time to allow people still using 16-bit Windows to participate. But in practice it turned out to be a bad idea. Sort of like ... /edit/ nah, it's Saturday here. Peace. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
