Sigh.  You might "know" that "WXP" is really "NT 5.1", but that's
NOT what anyone who says "NT will no longer be supported" in a
press release had in mind.  That's why Microsoft changed the
"visible name."

(In this case, the actual Microchip announcement is unusually clear
in stating that all they're doing is dropping the TESTING/support
for older operating systems.  There's no drastic change in the SW
architecture' they're just declining to make sure that it runs on
all that "old stuff."  So it probably still works on W98, you just
can't complain if it doesn't.)
