Included are Windows 98 and SQL Server 7.
They claim it's because of "A settlement with Sun Microsystems." However, we're too smart to fall for that one. :D : perpetualupgrading:

So my cousin who has Windows 98 can't use WindowsUpdate.com anymore.
I'm glad, because Microsoft can't sabotage Windows 98 now. That's right, Windows 98 is much slower when you install all the updates for it, so that people will migrate to Windows XP.

The "drop win98 to comply with Sun Java settlement" is just sooooo much MSBS(tm).

Cool! That means no more updates (read: time-wasting!)for me either :D I'm running 98SE & have no plans to upgrade to XP, screw you very much M$!!!
hm_murdock:
you're staying with 98 over an NT-based version?
DUMMY HEAD
98 is shit. at least run 95, or NT 4. Better yet, 2000. 95 was better than 98, 'cos it was hella faster, didn't have internet shithead, and it was better, and it didn't have internet shithead, and it was better and it didn't have internet shithead, and it was cool.
NT 4 at least 'cos it was cool and is better.
2000 because it's cool too and is better.
NT 3.1 was better than 98.
98 sucks ass. stop using it
