"THERE WILL BE NO MORE (FREE) SECURITY UPDATES FOR THIS PLATFORM (WIN 98).
PERIOD.

According to their lifecycle policy
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=fh;[ln];lifeprodw) the
free-of-charge support period has ended 30-Jun-2003. But I always thought
that they will still be releasing security updates until the
end-of-life-period, which is, according to the above website, 16-Jan-2004.

However, I was wrong. So, if you're still using Windows 98/98 SE you should
switch to an other OS very soon."

Like most people didn't realize that soon after installing Win98. Nevertheless, for everyone still using computer connected to the Internet w/ Win98, I will be beating down *YOUR* door the next time the internet clogs up with worm traffic. I mean, really, how many of you are using 5 year old equipment? Why would you use a 5 year old OS?!
