-> I remember. I've mentioned many times that Microsoft still
-> maintains data for W31 and free update files for DOS and W31. I
-> think what is 'lost' is the ongoing efforts to go back and
-> fix/improve older versions. The information and even free
-> downloads are going to be there for some time if Microsoft
-> continues as they have done for DOS and W31. 

Mostly what has disappeared is the Hand Holding. And of course
Improbemebts. Fortunatly as you mentioned they still have a LOT of files
avaialble for those using DOS and Win3.1


-> Business users with older OS complain and Microsoft backs down.
-> :-)

 Despite what some here would like us to believe there is still a good
sized installed base of OS's before Win98/ME. And for many people
upgrading to WinXP would be a Criminal Waste of money.
