When Microsoft last tried to withdraw support for W98 somebody told them - as they didn't seem to know - that at that time 26% of the PCs worldwide were still using it! If they don't know how to create a revenue stream out of that, then at least subcontract to somebody able to offer support at a cost appropriate to such end-users. Even at not-for-profit this should be encouraged, as these machines will represent a weak link in the worldwide security chain until the last one drops out of use. The withdrawal of support is imminent again. Think about it, Microsoft! |
