Window 2000 and earlier are <1% of global OS use and it reached the end of
its lifecycle in 2010
Can't we make this NT 5.1?
I can't test XP properly either...but that is used by ~44% so still worth
the trouble to try.

Luckily most old Windows stuff (let's say 5.1 now defines old!) will
probably still run on Windows 8 (well not on 8 RT...but that's for big
cloudy phones...used for putting your private data on someone else's
machine...somewhere...for 'non-evil' search and use by people unknown :)

Thanks,
Colin Harrison
