Default After June?

I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, which I'm sure it has.

After June, when Microsoft stops supporting Win98 with security
updates, will I need to stop using Win98 with the Internet?


Absolutely not.

Will I need a new operating system?


Nope. Not yet, anyways.

Ten years from now, who knows, but even then, I'm not so sure. Of course
we probably won't be able to find a whole bunch of *new* software that runs
on it at that time, but .. C'est La Vie.

Is there any recourse?


Sure - keep on chuggin with Win98 like the rest of us (or the rest of us
that are still left doing that). :-)

Probably someday we will all eventually be on WinXP or Longhorn, or whatever
the latest thing is, but that's a ways off (at least for me). What I've
got now (Win98SE, and DOS bootup capability), satifies my needs ..
purrrfectly.
