Interestingly, Microsoft is still producing fixes for Windows 98 thus
preserving my investment in my computer. Are any of the operating
systems that support 390 machines of that era still supported and for
how long?
not for much longer
July 11, 2006 will bring a close to Extended Support for Windows 98, Windows
98 Second Edition, and Windows Me as part of the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy.
Microsoft will retire public and technical support, including security
updates, by this date.
Existing support documents and content, however, will continue to be
available through the Microsoft Support Product Solution Center Web site.
This Web site will continue to host a wealth of previous How-to,
Troubleshooting, and Configuration content for anyone who may need
self-service.
Microsoft is retiring support for these products because they are outdated
and can expose customers to security risks. We recommend that customers who
are still running Windows 98 or Windows Me upgrade to a newer, more secure
Microsoft operating system, such as Windows XP, as soon as possible.
Customers who upgrade to Windows XP report improved security, richer
functionality, and increased productivity.
