You want them to support Shitdows98 forever?

I use it, but not by choice. Now if I could find one of those six hundred Ubuntu CD sets someone had sent to me...

Care to PM me an address and PC type (x86, 64-bit, or Mac)?  ;)

Why not let Canonical pay for that?

I seriously believe Microsoft was pushing people into Windows 98 by sabotaging Windows 95 into ultimate slowness with the help of Windows Update.

There is no doubt they will try the same thing with Windows 98 and ME, and even Windows XP once Windows Vista is launched.

It had in OSR 2, it's the Windows 95 version which came out in 1997.

But all the windows update stuff is activex based so all they need is to upgrade IE if it doesnt work. Of course MS has to *make* the updates for it

Interesting.

The issues could possibly be related to the fact that Windows Update was problably released with Windows 95 to help test it to get it ready for Windows 98. However I do not think that Microsoft intentionally making older versions less stable is unlikely.
