Just looking at the microsoft 98 website and saw this

Still using Windows 98? Visit the archives of how-to articles to learn how to use your computer for work, fun, and everything in between

i feel the emphasis went on the still....as if you shouldnt be because they brought out a new os??

Using an old Microsoft operating system after a new Microsoft operating system is released is a violation of the license agreement. Prepare to have your house seized, your body sold to slavery, and your soul sold to hell.

I don't think they should be included in today's computer-users census. My TI-89 is more powerful than Win3.1 ;)

Of that "We'll wait for SP5 to come out so we know it's stable" mentality? :p

No, we have some validated applications that won't run on XP.

I probably should have said the applications aren't supported in XP.

The FDA frowns on that sort of thing. ;)
