from Systemrequirements.doc: Windows 95 x Windows 98 x Windows 98 SE - Windows Me - Windows NT x Windows 2000 x Windows XP x
so you say it will work on 95 and 98 but not on 98SE and Me? it sure is a mistake (even if Me by itself is an abomination)

Actually I had no clue, I've never heard about anyone with those versions using Inkscape. The others I've either tested myself or have heard of people running on it.
Can anyone confirm it works on SE and ME? (I'm not even sure I know what SE and ME stand for...) I can send them an update if we know it works there.
Thanks, Bryce

I avoid those horrors nowadays, but Win 98 SE ("98 Second Edition") was just an OEM update to Windows 98 which I believe added USB 2.0 support or somesuch (new computers shipped with "Windows 98" were shipped with this after some point in time but I don't think you could buy the upgrade in stores), and Me ("Milennium Edition") is the end of the line for the Win95+ series, it was pretty much only shipped on consumer PCs and rumor has it that ME was actually less stable than the earlier versions. All I really know is that a friend of mine who had it replaced it with XP as soon as XP came out since ME was hanging the computer all the time; however, that's just anecdotal, and maybe the perception of crashiness was caused by the fact that at least some people were getting used to closer-to-working operating systems such as Win2K at that point.
Enough with the alphabet soup... In short, if Inkscape runs on Win98 it's pretty much guaranteed to run under 98SE and ME as well. The whole point in keeping that line alive was to provide backwards compatibility for old stuff that wouldn't work under Win2K. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately for me, I don't have anything available to test it on though.

Ah, okay, well they sound like niche cases so I'm not going to worry about it. If anyone asks I'll just say it might work but we haven't tested it so YMMV.
I have to say I blinked a bit when seeing that list. On seeing the Operating System section my initial reaction was, "Oh cool, they are aware that there are different operating systems," only to be dashed a fraction of a second later when I saw there wasn't anything but Windows listed. Uh, Toto... ;-)

Err, they arent niche cases at all. IMHO, if I had to pick a Win9x to run, it'd be Win98SE, and was sold/distributed for a decent time. TBH, if looked after it can be pretty "solid" (replace "solid" for the most appropriate term that can apply).
WinMe was a bit of a hack to get some of the driver model to the 2000 version IIRC and things did go a little screwy then.
