Anyone using Windows 98, Windows 98SE, or Window ME please stop reading this and click on
Geek.com. Please read the whole article including Matthew's Opinion. Support stops July the 11th. Last Thursday
PCWorld ran an article about the support ending as well. The first link is concise, informative and brief. The second link is a bit more detailed. With the advent of Windows Vista upon us I think it's time to put away these older operating systems and upgrade. Yes, I know it hurts the pocket book.
A possible scenario: You still run 98 later this year, it gets infected, the computer geek of your choice tries to cure the damaged registry, but cannot due to lack of support. You have to pay the tech and pay for the upgrade. Save some money. Be wise. Upgrade before July.
My guess is that this article will be one of the most viewed on this site before the year ends. We'll see...
