so if you’re still using clunky Windows 98 on your old beater and using it to surf the net, i recommend you switch to a different Operating System. i personally recommend switching to a form of Linux like Ubuntu. it’s easy to install and it can be a great learning experience that comes with a whole community of support.

Microsoft shuts down Windows 98

Microsoft is urging an estimated 70 million users of Windows 98 to upgrade as it ends support for the software.

From 11 July, Microsoft will no longer help users over the phone with any problems they have with the ageing operating system.

The firm will also stop providing security updates for Windows 98 from the same date.

Support for the software was originally due to end in 2003, but was extended following customer protests.
