I just quoted him as a warning as to what some deranged individual could
accomplish *if* said individual really had a strong desire to cripple 9x systems. As of now, that's not happening, thank goodness. As far as ME being unstable, it's still running on my dual boot box and quite nicely. But not as my main OS, more as a research sys. And, I can even surf without a firewall for short periods of time due to forgetting to turning it on. Would never do that using XP SP2, no matter how patched it's been. Of course SP2 would be nagging about no firewall, but that's another matter.

As to your question about how long these newsgroups will survive after end June 2006, I have no idea but suspect that Microsoft might attempt some (overdue) consolidation of the various Win 9x newsgroups however that is far from easy given the nature of Usenet where a "dead" newsgroup can quite easily be resurrected but at least the newsgroups carried on the Microsoft servers could be reduced. |
