Eventually -- two years from now? three? -- win95, win98, winMe, and
even WinNT, will be very old and not widely used, but WinXPhome and W2k
and whatever follows will account for a huge percentage of our installed
base.
At that time, it would not be unreasonable to start using subauth...and
I'd hate for someone to re-invent the wheel. It does little harm to
keep the code in until then, does it?
