Will there be any updates this time around for 98SE and are there any more
security issues that need to be addressed in 98SE? I know about the
annoyance of the one patch running seperately but I am sure Microsoft will
address that in the future as time allows because Microsoft primary work is
with trying to make XP SP 2 more secure which still amuses me because as
Chris Quirke, MVP has enlightened many of us that the NT (New Technology aka
Not There) cannot be made secure without a maintenance operating system and I
will go even further to say that XP SP 2 cannot be made secure without an
overhaul of the entire source code which hopefully Microsoft will release for
the masses with the release of Longhorn in 2007. Have a nice day and thanks
in advance for any information pertaining to the updates from Microsoft.

Microsoft says they have stopped generating modifications to Win98.

TIme available has nothing to do with it. Microsoft has created
corporate policies about the kinds of support they give to products
that they sold earlier, and they follow these policies. The policies
are mainly designed to limit the amount of effort that Microsoft
personnel put into products that they sold earlier. In general,
Microsoft personnel are much more interested in creating new products
than in modifying products they no longer sell. They say the antitrust
agreement between Sun and Microsoft makes it impossible for Microsoft
to sell Win98 after Jun 2004.

Thanks Bill and Robear. I really do hope that IE 7 will be available for
98SE as well but I know this is really unlikely but I can always hope and
request Microsoft to release it for 98SE due to the fact that someone hacked
my XP SP2 and Chris Cquirke, MVP's point was proven about the inherent
weakness of the New Technology aka Not There source code in XP SP2.

I really recommend you to check Internet Maxthon 1.2.
I think this is (and will be) great alternative to IE7
on Windows 98 platform.

Support at forums http://forum.maxthon.com/
is great.

Maxthon tabbed browser is based on IE DLLs and has
good AD/Popup/ActiveX filter.

There are two (free) editions: Combo and Standard.
I (use and) recommend "standard" since it does
NOT include additional plugins and skins.

It is translated into many languages

Thanks roman modic. I currently use and am happy with Mozilla Firefox. I
mention this because of Gary S. Terhune's, <MVP> comments about the
importance of all of Windows being kept secure and since Internet Explorer is
an integral part of Windows as was told to us by Microsoft in the lawsuit
against Microsoft by the Justice Department.

If MS will release IE7 for Windows 98 SE, I will be pleasantly surprised.
If you (or everybody else) have power and influence to force MS to make
such decision, that would be great.

Exactly right, Gary but hopefully you, Chris Quirke and I can exact some
small amount of influence on Microsoft. BTW, Microsoft did give me 5-7 hours
of free technical support for 3 days from two people in Canada and three
people in India. LOL, of course this was for XP PROFESSIONAL SP 2 that had
been hacked into but the stupid dumb hackers fell into my trap which was to
show Microsoft that you, I and Chris Quirke, MVP and the texts on Microsoft's
history on the Not There aka New Technology code are right. BTW, I can email
you information on my current status of testing for Longhorn if you like
since you are an MVP you have certain rights that the general community
cannot know. Have a great day and I still cannot wait for Chris Quirke, MVP
to post again. Sincerely, Dan
