Many of the rural users I deal with have machines barely able to run Windows 95, and forget windows 98. If I tell my users they must upgrade their computers to use my service those users will simply find another internet service.

The problem is that IE6 does not support Win95. You need a minimum of Win98 to install IE6...

It appears that without telling anyone Microsoft decided the Internet Explorer Admin Kit version 6.0 which generates a custom IE web browser for ISP's would no longer support Windows 95. I do not know about the rest of you however, I have many Windows 95 users still signing on to my service. I think it is time to let Microsoft know our displeasure about this clear abuse of their monopoly position. Once someone else confirms this behavior, I intend to raise a stink with the national news media, the federal government and the nine states that are still suing Microsoft.
