Default Windows 98 and Millennium execution day

Hello!

Quote:
"70 million people, still use the software."

"The only defence that Win98 and Millennium users now
have against attack will be the fact that the virus writers
are too young to remember how to crack it."
And some journalists are too young to know that SE does
not mean "Special Edition"

Microsoft will end support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Special Edition (SE) and
Windows Millennium Edition (ME). That means users of those versions will no longer
have the protection of software fixes issued by Microsoft, potentially leaving them
exposed to attack when hackers exploit previously unknown flaws in the
operating systems
