True, but what happens IF the game stops working?  Will a bug report 
with regression test be accepted or will it be rejected?

You can see there is a little fear if we stop testing Windows9x 
completely.  However, if we move the Windows9x VMs out of the way so we 
can concentrate on current versions, that is a good idea as some 
functionality of the current Windows versions does not exist or is 
vastly different.
