No on said that Win98/ME users shouldn't expect bugs to be fixed.
But they shouldn't expect new features to be created specifically for them either. WinME has the WinME Start bar and WindowBlinds skins that. If you want a fancier Start bar you'll have to either get WIndows XP or use ObjectBar.
As for making it personal, you gotta be kidding? You're the one who has been running around calling people names.
And no, I'm not interested in "efficiency" of code taken to the Nth degree. If I were I'd be writing in assembly language.
The goal of a professional software developer is to write software that works well for the majority of potential customers.
When I write a game, I look at what the target market typical hardware setup is. As long as I can write the program that fits those specs, then I'm going to sacrifice memory efficiency for writing more readable, maintainable code as well as write code that is easier to do.
The game I'm working on right now uses almost 80 megabytes of memory. I'm sure we could, if we doubled the development time, get it down to using less than half that. But today's modern games tend to use at least that much memory if not more and "wasting" memory can cut down significantly on development costs.
