Microsoft Bows to Pressure, Extends Support for Older Windows Versions: "Microsoft Corp. on Monday capitulated to customer pressure and announced that it would now continue extended support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition and for Windows Millennium Edition (ME) until June 30, 2006." Funny thing, the print verion of this same article in this week's eWeek has a different headline: "Farewell, Windows 98"; it starts out by saying that Windows 98 support is gone, and then contains most of the same content as the online version.
