ermmm... you can never make something 100% compatible for 9x/2k if it was specifically designed for NT or higher. Some stuff is simply not build in into older OS's.

Other than that, MS is gradually building down on their support for old OS's.
Yeah they stopped the support and updates for 9x windows (i guess so ppl would finally upgrade :P not seriously ....)

Some stuff which will never be compatible:
The curvy looks
Transperency (given by msg plus! .... still)
Feature to remove the top bar thingy of the main window ....

And yes this was in that certain "gals" blog .... the one who is a MS developer ..... she said that finally they decided to move on ....

True cause they are trying to stop everything (security upgrades and everything) for older OS'es just to push ppl to have the latest windows versions ..... upcomming vista or atleast xp

I guess it must be tough for them too to maintain all the security upgrades for all os'es so the are doing only the ones with NT bases ;)

If anyone cares .... i would just like to add that i heard somewhere that microsoft confirmed the fact that they are gonna release another special pack (viz SP 3) soon :)
