re: Will the end of XP support, end the code nuisance ? Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 5:16 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Arminius (163 messages posted) Alan, You managed to get things done using Win98 all these years, have you considered installing Windows 2000? On the plus side: 1) Win98 users adapt to Windows 2000 very easily. 2) Runs better on older hardware than WinXP. 3) There is NO product activation. On the down side: 1) Microsoft will stop issuing patches for it next year. 2) A growing number of third party software vendors are dropping support for it. 3) Second hand CDs are not cheap. Maybe you know someone who no longer wants their copy. Overall, I'd say Windows 2000 has a few good years left in it. Written in response to: re: Will the end of XP support, end the code nuisance ?
