Agree with you on the points. And those same people who are running Windows 9x PCs who can't get the level of security that they need they can either supliment the anitvirus security with freeware supliments like AVG for instance.
But if you want all of the features in today's OS as the article mentionted the user has no choice but to buy a newer PC and the OS that either came preinstalled with windows XP or purchased seperately like any flavor of Linux for instance. -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wayne Johnson Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2005 3:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Software: Microsoft tries to breathe life into older PCs At 03:24 PM 5/15/2005, Marc Sims typed: >WIll this OS serve as a bridge to get people who use Windows 9x >generation OS to move over to Windows XP or Longhorn (to be released >December 2006)? It says in the article that's what MSFT intends. This may help some small businesses but not many because they don't run a server per se. It certainly will NOT help those people that are running 9x on stand alone machines whether used for business or not. ----------+---------- Wayne D.
