Microsoft Stops Win98 Support

[chris_f]

Hi Guys and Gals,

Because I deal with M$ I've known that were stopping support for some time. I kept forgetting to post though. Anyway ...

Microsoft will also continue to offer a variety of self-help resources on the Product Support Services Web site until at least January 16, 2006, two years after phone support for Windows 98 ends on January 16, 2004. These resources include the Microsoft Knowledge Base and Newsgroups.

Microsoft are support software creation support in September. Therefore, from september no hardware will come with new win98 drivers.

shame, as their only stable release is WIN98SE, XP might as well be called unstable spyware.

I hope they lose their monopoly and we all benefit from some secure, stable operating systems, microsoft sucks IMHO ;o)
