I'm not entirely sure of the best way to phrase
it. But for what it's worth,
I personally think the cutoff for OS's should be win95, exclusive.
In other words, win95, 98, 98SE, NT, 2000, and XP are off-topic. However,
Windows up to 3.x, and Windows for workgroups are on-topic.
You really must separate hardware from software. The above is my feelings
for software. For hardware, I think 386 and 486 architecture is on-topic.
Pentium 4 certainly isn't on-topic. But what about P1,2,3? I don't know. If
the discussion is just the hardware, I certianly don't think there's a
problem with talk of P1 and 2 anyways.
I'm fine with this. I think it captures the spirit of what most people
(including me) were trying to get at. Not that you need my blessing ;)
