| 156148 | 2003-06-29 09:58:00 | I've reformatted my computer and reinstalled Windows98. I installed the Win98 Service Pack 1, but I am not sure that it has been properly installed. Is there some way that I can verify this? | Denfinn (1658) | ||

| 156151 | 2003-06-29 11:19:00 | Are Microsoft still supporting Win98? When was the last patch released for it? I thought they would have abandoned the OS ages ago - not that it was really bad - Win98SE was/is good for what it is. |

If the following can be believed it looks as if the abandonment date has been postponed for a while: www.techzonez.com Here is an excerpt from the above: (sorry about the formatting). Windows 98 spared from the MS guillotine for now Post #1 of 10 Microsoft Grants 2nd Stay Of Execution To Win98! As recently as about two months ago, Microsoft pegged June 30 2003 as the shutdown date for Win98 support. The basic plan was that, as of that date, two weeks from now, Win98 would no longer be patched, updated, or bug-fixed. But sometime in the last few weeks, Microsoft quietly extended the date. This will affect tens of millions of users worldwide!......................... Cheers :) |

| 156156 | 2003-06-29 12:13:00 | I missed the most important part off my posting: Now, the "'nonsupport" date for Win98 has been rolled back 6 months to Jan 16 2004, and the new "end of life" date has been pushed back to Jan 16 2005. :) |
