SUPPORT REPRIEVE FOR WINDOWS ‘98
by Mike Martin
01/01/2004
| Microsoft has recently announced a reprieve
for the ageing Windows ’98 operating system software. It had previously
announced that support for the operating system would be withdrawn from January
16.
However, many users, particularly in some
east European countries, are still using ’98 extensively and Microsoft is
bowing to user pressure. It is also believed that they (Microsoft) are
concerned that if they switch off support completely at this time, then this
might encourage more users to move to the “open source” Linux operating system
that is virtually free.
The support for ’98 is being extended until
June 2006, although support will be chargeable. They will also continue to
issue software “patches” to resolve any security related issues that may arise. |
