High Speed Access for WinWorld User Uploads
I will be creating an FTP for WinWorld user uploads on my server. This is the server where WinWorld downloads are stored.
A few rules will come along with this:
1) No Warez. This is an absoulete policy we will have ZERO TOLERANCE with. Any warez being uploaded will be deleted and the IP will be firewall blocked.
2) No deletions. This is up to my discretion. I will SSH in and delete files that I see as illegal copyrighted material.
3) Images/Short Homemade Videos are OK for sharing on WinWorld, but try and use ImageShack/TinyPic/YouTube if you can. There will be a seperate directory for this.
4) There will be NO SSH access via these UNIX accounts, so don't try.
You will loose if abused. If you upload items like, virtual hard disks for Virtual PC, please do not contain any copyrighted files on that. Those items will be inspected and deleted.
Anyone abusing this, will be firewall blocked by IP or netrange, whatever I see fit. With those bans, come bans for WinWorld Downloads.
This should be up in a day or 2.

If one is uncertain weather a certain application counts as accepted abandonware or if it counts as warez, it's possible to ask in here beforehand? (all cases are not that clear-cut I mean, and you don't want to get banned)

Product Support Lifecycle
I go by the end of Service Pack support date or noted dates if available in regards to End of Life determinations.
There's is also a realistic point.... how useful is the software in question for conducting business.... not very in this era of a zillion exploits and attacks.....
for me the 9x triplets and NT up to 4 are clearly in this category. Office up to 97.
Where are you comfortable?

Another thing I try and take into account is the use of it, even if not very strongly supported: EG. Consider how many people still use 2000 even if it is two major versions (XP and WVI) out.
