[Austin Denyer (Ozz)]

Here's a reminder for those using Windoze releases up to and including
WinME:

End of support for Windows 98 and Windows Me

July 11, 2006 will bring a close to Extended Support for Windows 98,
Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me as part of the Microsoft
Lifecycle Policy. Microsoft will retire public and technical support,
including security updates, by this date.

Existing support documents and content, however, will continue to be
available through the Microsoft Support Product Solution Center Web
site. This Web site will continue to host a wealth of previous How-to,
Troubleshooting, and Configuration content for anyone who may need
self-service.

Microsoft is retiring support for these products because they are
outdated and can expose customers to security risks. We recommend that
customers who are still running Windows 98 or Windows Me upgrade to a
newer, more secure Microsoft operating system, such as Windows XP, as
soon as possible.

Customers who upgrade to Windows XP report improved security, richer
functionality, and increased productivity.

Looks like a good time to take all those remaining Windoze boxes that
are too low-spec to run XP and migrate to Linux.  

Regards,
Ozz.
