Hi,
In the bug reporting pages there are selections missing in the hardware platform
and operating system drop down menus and It is getting wrose every day and it
needs to be fixed just like when I started to see this problem windowsME and
windows 95 were still on there and now there missing today and it is rprobab ly
getting worse and will get worst until there is no selections on that meun and
you can not report any bugs at all and that will not be good at all.

This is on purpose.  However if you use one of those systems to report a bug
it'll autodetect that and add it back into the list.  But if you're reporting a
bug against an older or less common OS, you need to be using a browser on that
system to be able to report a bug with it.

Dave sums it up correctly:
"if you're reporting a bug against an older or less common OS, you need to be
using a browser on that system to be able to report a bug with it."

This was considered to be a good balance between over-complicating the form by
providing a list of 20 OSes, and hard-coding the form to always use the OS you
are running.

Unless this mechanism is broken, this is a WONTFIX.
