All, As you can see below some of the Microsoft Operating System products are no longer supported without paid contracts or will be obsolete very soon. Win98 will be obsolete this coming January and security fixes are no longer being released as of this past June which means we will have to replace the several win98 machines that are being used as desktops. As far as I know well need 6 new OS and 5 OFFICE packages. Anyone else running Win98?
Margy Diane Mike B Karen Allan G UPS Shipping/Receiving In addition, we have 3 Windows NT 4.0 servers in house that will need to be replaced in the next year. This could also involve (????) MAS90 since it's housed on one of these NT boxes. Since these function as the primary & secondary domain controllers as well as the exchange e-mail server this may be a bit involved. Any other NT 4.0 Servers that we need to know about for planning purposes? ===============Windows 98 =============== General Availability 30-Jun-1998 Date Mainstream Support Retired - No-charge assisted support for this product will end on 30-Jun-2003.
