R 2.7.0 will not support Windows 4.x (95, 98, ME, NT4, all of which are end-of-life), and will support XP/2003/Vista/2008. That leaves Windows 2000 (on 'extended support' by MS until 2010), which we could in theory allow but have no means of testing. Does anyone have an ongoing need for R on Windows 2000? If so, are you prepared to test the alpha/beta releases every 6 months? Requests to continue Windows 2000 support to R-windows at r-project.org, please. -- Brian D.
