Win98, ME and NT are not officially supported anymore and don't get new drivers anymore as well (or don't get any anymore depending on the manufacturer). So I don't take those as alive.
Win2000 is a different thing but 2k users normally know what they should have installed and what not. And they as well should know that the refusal of .NET will take care that they will be restricted in what they can use and what not. (even now, some apps install DLLs that are normally part of .NET. Adobe's apps for example).
I don't see a reason trying to block it unless you are a Linux boy and just want to annoy windows user ... But Windows Programmers that don't see the point and power of .NET (especially 2 and 3 *formely known as WinFX*) shouldn't call themself programmers I think ... would be as if you took Apple away their plattform code lol ... (.NET is the new "WinAPI" ...)
