Story: End of the road for Win 98 support

A lot of small business's can't afford the upgrade to XP so they would be a prime target for virus writers. Plus given the amount of security holes in 98 many business's could, literally, be forced away from online activities. Personally I use 98 strictly for some of the old games and could always remove the internet connection to avoid the risk. Luckily I discovered Linux 5 years ago so am not that concerned.
