Microsoft ends any support for old Windows ME and Windows 98 Posted by webmaster (moderator) Jun 18 2006 3:02PM <B>Tuesday, 13 June 2006</B> Microsoft representative has announced that Microsoft will not be able to patch Windows 98 and ME against a serious security loophole discovered in April 2006. Fixing this security issue in ageing software would require a major re-write of the Windows Explorer program used in these very old operating systems. All Microsoft support for these very old Windows 98 and Windows ME systems ends on 11 July 2006. Because of this, per Microsoft representative, Microsoft is not prepared to fix any existing security loopholes and bugs in Windows . On Microsoft's security blog, there's the following official note from Microsoft: "We strongly recommend that those of you who are still running these older versions of Windows upgrade to a newer, more secure version, such as Windows XP SP2, as soon as possible." |
