| Microsoft shuts down Windows 98 |
|
Microsoft is urging an estimated 70 million users of Windows 98 to upgrade as it ends support for the software.
From 11 July 2006, Microsoft will no longer help users over the phone with any problems they have with the ageing operating system.
The firm will also stop providing security updates for Windows 98 from the same date.
Support for the software was originally due to end in 2003, but was extended following customer protests.
Stephen Johnson of LAN added: "Due to these changes, our clients are reminded that LAN Support will not be able to continue full support for this aging Operateing System. Many of our clients have already migrated to MS Windows XP through aquiring new hardware as this is the advised route, upgrading licencing is not usually an option and we are strongly advising anyone running Windows 98 to replace as soon as you can due to secuirty risks". |
