From their website:
http://www.aol.com/support/index.adp?toc=connect&page=059

Why do they tell people it will run on Windows 95? Then tell them that *company name here* can make it work?

AOL is evil!

*shrugs* Since M$ doesn't support Win95 anymore, my previous employer wouldn't either. If you installed the software, or we configured it manually, and it didn't work then tough luck. Its EOL from MS so why should you have to support it. Why are you even supporting that POS company AOL-TW?

we support what originally shipped on the system. and you don't have to pay for phone support on it. I'd say that's pretty cool for a big company.

A for supporting AOL? neh-eh. We make sure what we shipped is compatible and/or working correctly. then we tell them what to say when they talk to AOL again.

besides which, Win2K service pack 4 is now EOL.

I won't stop supporting the last great OS. WinXP = Ev0l.

I ask the same thing about my company. Here are the sys requirements for attending a web conference/remote access session...

Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, or XP
Intel Pentium, 166 MHz
32 MB RAM
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4, 5, 6, or Netscape 4
JavaScript and cookies enabled in the browser
56K or faster Internet connection

uhm... anyone trying to attend a meeting where someone is sharing their desktop with all of the attendees is NOT going to get by on a P166, 32mb of ram and a 56k (aka 26,400 - hah) connection.
