Why is Win95 no longer supported?

I've read the release notes, but there is no explanation for why Win95 is no longer supported. Does anyone know where I can find Sun's official reason for stopping support of Win95? I'd like to support Win95 in my applications and not be surprised by Win95 specific issues.

Try looking on store shelves... do you see ANY products that still support Windows 95?

  • Why is firefox no longer supporting osx 10.4 power pc mac

    I think the question is pretty obvious. OSX 10.4 is left out of the current Firefox 4 update. Why? You are supporting a lot of lesser
    used operating systems.

    jimmeans, if your company still has computers running Mac OS X 10.4 (especially PowerPC Macs) then you are no longer receiving security fixes for your operating system or browser plugins, and your data is in danger. Other major browsers like Safari are also no longer updated for Mac OS X 10.4 either -- so if you remove Firefox then you might not have any other browser to turn to. (At least Firefox 3.6 still receives security updates on these machines, while the OS and other software does not.) You should probably investigate updating your OS and/or hardware.
    marivaux: Sorry, I am not familiar enough with TenFourFox to speak to the quality of their code. Most of the code is the same code as official Firefox 4 releases, and it should benefit from the many improvements that have gone into Firefox 4. Their team is working together with Mozilla, and we are happy to see their work. But if you want the highest guarantee of support and security from Mozilla, you should stick with the official Firefox 3.6 release.

  • Why is Jiniator no longer supported

    It's sad that Firefox has killed the ability to use the Oracle jinitiator plugin while IE still allows it. They are cutting themselves out of a lot of shops due to this change. They should at least give users the ability to enable the plugin knowing the risks.
    Is it possible this could be allowed in a future release?

    I think Oracle is trying to phase out JInitiator. Does your content not run in the regular Java plugin, or does corporate policy prohibit use of Java?

  • Why are my RAW format files no longer supported?

    Using a Mac OS X 10.5.8 with versions of Adobe Photoshop CS5, Adobe Bridge CS5 and Camera Raw Plug-in.
    Shot .CR2 raw format photos on my Canon EOS 450D (Same as Rebel XSi)
    Have always been able to open them successfully in Camera Raw and Photoshop. Now says that the files and/or my camera model/make is not supported by the Camera Raw Plug-in nor by my Photoshop.
    Tried converting to DNG first with Adobe DNG Converter 7.1 and even that says that the source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files.
    Previous raw files taken with the same camera on the same computer with the same (or even earlier) versions of all these programs have always worked. I can still open those successfully too. However just these new ones I cannot. Nothing has changed about my camera in that time...
    What can I do and why is it that these files are no longer supported?

    ACR 6.7 and ACR 7.1 RC can open XSi CR2 files at least on Windows 7.  I just checked.
    However, on Windows, at least, the DNGC 7.1 RC has a quirk in that when you want to convert a folder of CR2s to DNGs, you have to click the Select button when the folder is highlighted in the file selection dialog and the folder listed in the location area of the file selection dialog.   You cannot click INTO the folder and then click Select, which sounds like what you are doing.  If you do click into the folder and click Select it’ll say there are no compatible files that exist.   I think previous versions of the DNGC would recover properly if you clicked into the folder before clicking Select.
    Since your files cannot be opened in ACR, either, then perhaps they are corrupted.  You might post a download link to one of them in a message here so others can have a look.  If you don’t have a large file hosting service, then set up a free account on www.dropbox.com or www.yousendit.com or similar, upload your file, there, then post the public download link, here, in a reply.

    '''Swarnava''', I do believe he has already been downloading and installing Firefox 9.0.1 three times already.
    '''avowedrep''', your user agent appears as if it is Firefox 3.5.19 in more system details link on right of your post.

    As for the ''"Warning: this version of firefox is no longer supported?"'' is sounds as if you still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start page hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used (Firefox 3.6.* and earlier) as '''about:home''' has been in use since Firefox 4.0
    Either ignore the "You're not on the latest version of Firefox" message, change homepage to '''about:hom'''e, change it to another page or leave blank.

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • HT203284 Third party accessories no longer supported... All my charging cables were great before the latest ios update, why?

    Third party accessories no longer supported... All my charging cables were great before the latest ios update, why?

    I don't know which accessories you have, but the 'better' ones are usually made with Apple's cooperation. Stuff from Targus, Kensington, Belkin and the like.
    Ive used a belkin and Onn lightning cable with my iPod with no error messages.
    You SHOULD  be able to keep using the accessories and just ignore the warning. But I say should because that may not be the case with everything.
    The issue stems from various incidents involving shoddy third party accessories malfunctioning - sometimes quite spectacularly. But the headlines never read 'cheap knock off cable shorted out' they read 'iphone burst into flames'

    Why am I getting the following error message? "You can’t open the application “Microsoft Word” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  I never used to have a proble!

    Only Office for Mac 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks. Microsoft support for the former package ended in April 2013. If you do not want to spend the money, you might download and try the donation-ware (free) LibreOffice Suite. No ribbon bar crap. Supports about any document created on Windows.

  • I downloaded the recent software update Mountain Lion and now my microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. are no longer supported. Why is this? What can I do?

    I downloaded the recent software update Mountain Lion and now my microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. are no longer supported. Why is this? What can I do?

    Depending upon how extensive your library of legacy Microsoft Office data files are, you may want to consider continuing to use Microsoft Office 2004.
    Microsoft Office's 2011 version is compatible with Lion and presumably either works with Mountain Lion or an update will make it so.  The problem with this approach is that Office 2011 will "convert" your earlier data files and there lies the rub!  For example, I have the need to weekly open a chart created in Excel 2004, but Excel 2011 trashes the chart in its "conversion."
    So I have approached the overall problem differently.
    The reason your applications do not work in Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006.  When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
    Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
    The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
    So for those of use that need to run Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

    And now Mountain Lion:
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:

    Snow Leopard is $29 and Parallels 7 is $79 retail (cheaper from competitive sources) and Parallels offers a 14 day free trial of Parallels 7 on their website:

  • Internet Explorer 9 no longer supports my O2, why?

     I can't access my O2 anymore because IE9 no longer supports my O2, why? I get a message telling me to upgrade my browser, I'm using IE9 on Vista and am perfectly happy with them, your changes mean I can no longer pay my bill online.

    I liked Vista and it took me a while to get used to Windows 7 when the laptop got dropped on the floor....intentionally as the guy at the hospital for PCs said it would cost more to repair than a new one.(thank god for house insurance!).I'm probably due for this one to die soon as it's now 5 years old. Mnn...windows 10, sure I'll be ok...
