[vlc-devel] [RFC] removing legacy threading for Windows

[Andre Weber]

I would also see no problem - dropping the legacy Windows support...
I think its not worth to write kludges or silly code for supporting them...
their time is over ... since years.
And oldstyle users can still get an 0.8.x release for that OS, which is nice
an stable enough.

just my 2cents

I am all for dropping Win95/98 support with 0.9.0.
