Story: End of the road for Win 98 support
Posted by: Anonymous (Friday 14 July 2006, 12:56 PM)
The issue isn't microsoft, but whether anti-virus, anti-spy-ware, firewall makers, Opera and Firefox, and hardware makers, continue to support Win98.
The precent of computers running Win98 may be low, but it is still higher than the percent running MacOS. Isn't that good enough reason to continue supporting it?
BTW, when is every change microsoft makes going to stop being called an "upgrade"? That company makes changes in order to make money, but those changes are not necessarily for the better. Who wants to have microsoft spying on them - so why call XP et al an upgrade on Win98?
