I'd guess that XP won't support it either. Not to mention OS/2 and MacOS. Based on how many people are still running w95, and the serialization in XP that's going to make new sales of it very slow, I think we will be seeing quite a lot of active mode FTP clients for a long time. Oh and I forgot all the currently shipping web browsers too.
