Windows 98 Support Ends Next Week
Posted by Janak Parekh in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 04:00 PM
A brief public service announcement for those of you who run Windows 98: Upgrade as soon as you can. Microsoft will cease official support for Windows 98 by the end of next week -- there will be no guarantee of critical updates and you won't be able to call the company up for tech support. They will keep the Windows Update site up for some time longer, but may pull the plug on it soon as well.
"Six years after its launch, Windows 98 is still used by around a quarter of Web surfers. Microsoft announced last year that it would stop supporting Windows 98 beginning Jan. 15, meaning that million of users will soon be left exposed when new exploits and vulnerabilities are discovered."
