Provide notice to your customers, something like:

"Because Microsoft no longer supports Windows 95, we will not support our products on this platform after such and such date. We encourage you to upgrade to Windows XP".

Note that MS will soon no longer support Win98 so you should build that into your notice too.

>That's a nice standard to have and that was actually the standard at my previous employment - nothing less than Windows 98 at a minimum and this year it became W2k. However, in my current employment, our customers are small businesses with anywhere from 1 single pc to 10 in 3 separate offices, etc. Some of the really small businesses cannot afford an OS upgrade even though it should be a requirement. All servers in a peer-to-peer environment are at least Windows 98, but some of the workstations maybe Win95B still. C/S servers are Windows 2000 of course. Our software is distributed as a part of a 'package' for using our premium financing and hence, not an income producer. Regardless, there are probably >1200 clients and probably 2/3rds have Windows 98 or better, but there is still that 1/3 left over...
