Thoughts on MS discontinuing support for Windows98

http://www.archlug.org/kwiki/Windows98Support

Note that this is the primary version now supported and targeted by the WINE effort.

I'ts also the last version with any "EULA Death Grip" loopholes. i.e. Where all
updates, components (e.g. DCOM, fonts, DirectX, Media Player, Internet Explorer,
etc.), and other anti-competitive "bundling" practices that Microsoft has been
repeatedly convicted of in the past, have had their EULA wording changed to
incorporate a requirement for a "properly licensed Operating System product".
