Hello. This is my first visit to this or any forum, but I respect the links that got me here and saw some interesting dialogue, so I decided to jump in. I run WIN98 4.10.1998 and love it. I don't think Microsoft is thinking beyond the near future in their decision to end support for win98. It is still the most used system ever, and when and if I decide to change, I will defineately consider an open source browser and office suite. Then, at least, I can be part of the solution without worrying about some megagiant corporation jerking the rug out from under me when I really like something. I don't like being forced into anything, and I know there are many that feel the same. Adios for now, Dano
