Default Will System Updates Remain Available When Support Ends?
The official word is no new security updates will be forthcoming after
the extended support phase has ended.

Mow,

That isn't exactly new news as this was announced some years ago. See
"Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Support
Extended"
(http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;LifeAn1) which
states:
"Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me downloads for
existing security issues will continue to be available through regular
assisted-support channels at no charge until June 30, 2006." [Last Review:
January 14, 2005].
