My concern is with the end of security updates...and the constant need for security updates in the first place. For example, although I have a valid Windows 98SE license, I won't ever install it again due to its huge, unpatched security holes. > First thing I do on any Windows box is strip out all the offending viral > cesspools (IE, OE, WMP, Scripting Host, Address Book, Messenger, Chat, > Netmeeting, etc).
