Warning on install in Windows 98 and Windows Me
-----------------------------------------------
Following Microsoft's closing of Extended Support for
Windows 98/ME (July 11, 2006), Python 2.6 will stop
supporting these platforms. Python development and
maintainability becomes easier (and more reliable) when
platform specific code targeting OSes with few users
and no dedicated expert developers is taken out. The
vendor also warns that the OS versions listed above
"can expose customers to security risks" and recommends
upgrade.
