Hello people,
I am the boss of a small software house. A very skilled
programmer offered us a product (we've still to work on
the graphics and music though) which is indeed very, very
cool (the guy really knows how to program!), BUT his code
WILL NOT WORK on Windows 95, 98 & ME, and he totally refuses
to make it compatible, he says there are a lot of technical
reasons why this is not possible (or worth).

With the advent of Windows XP, it's pretty clear that the
9x technology is doomed to extinction. But, is it ALREADY
possible to put a big label like this on the box:

The game is compatible with Windows 2000, XP and 2003.
WARNING!!
The game is *NOT* compatible with Windows 95, 98 and ME.

without affecting sales too much?

While I'd certainly love to get a broader market, this
guy may have good reasons to dump 9x compatibility
because his code is truly impressive. I'm not sure we
can find another coder in town that can impress us as
much.

To sum it all.. what I'm asking you is your advice for
my dilemma: dump 9x compatibility or dump this coder?

Thanks a lot!
