Default Will System Updates Remain Available When Support Ends?

And, I was wrong/right about updates for Win 95. They're still available
via the MS Download Center, but not on the Windows Update Catalog site.
Still waiting for the "official" word from MS ... but I think you are
spot on, Mike.

I've asked MS if updates for Win ME will still be available after 7/11
and if further updates will be issued for newly discovered
vulnerabilities after that date.
Reading the Support Lifecycle page gave me a headache.
Stay tuned ...



Mow,

Whilst I believe updates will continue to be available from the Windows
Update site for some time yet I don't expect that Win Me or Win 98SE
users should expect further security updates to be built for any new
vulnerabilities. IE6 SP1 will also be soon out of support and IS 6 SP2
has never been made available for Win9x systems.
