Windows gets big security update
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has decided Windows 98 is too old to continue patching
| One of the biggest security updates for more than a year is being
| released by Microsoft to fix 12 software flaws.
|
| Nine of the updates apply to the Windows operating system and one
| is deemed critical, a rating reserved for the most serious security
| problems.
|
| [...]
|
| Microsoft is not prepared to undertake this work, given that all
| support for Windows 98 and ME ends on 11 July 2006.
|
| On its security blog Microsoft wrote: "We strongly recommend that
| those of you who are still running these older versions of Windows
| upgrade to a newer, more secure version, such as <strikeout>Windows XP
| SP2</strikeout> GNU/Linux 2.6.x, as soon as possible."
