WIN 98 and registering.

[winr]

I have a used OEM win 98 CD and manual.
If it has been previously registered by the original owner can I contact MS so I can register it myself?

Why would you want to register Win98 ????

I can understand why you may want to use Win98, old programs, have a fetish for antique things that just didnt work...etc...

But I think by THIS you wouldn't need to register. They stopped mainstream support at the end of June. If they wont support it I really dont think they will care if you use it In other words, don't sweat it, just use it if you want.

Registration is purely optional on all Microsoft OSes.

no point with win98 .. MS dropped telephone support. or will soon.

Hey! I can run old games on W98 for 2-3 hours before memory/resource leaks lock up the OS and force me to hit the reset switch!
