End to Win98 support may boost desktop Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| From today, Microsoft will no longer issue security updates or provide
| support for Windows 98 and Windows ME, which could lead users to
| trying alternative operating systems such as Linux.
|
| [...]
|
| Hardest hit by the cancellation of support will be home users and
| schools, according to Michael Silver, research vice president of
| client platforms at research group Gartner, who agrees that support
| has been extended to fight off the threat from Linux.
