Windows 98 gets a reprive

REDMOND, Washington (AP) -- Microsoft reversed a decision to stop
support for some older Windows operating systems, saying Monday some
customers in developing countries were not aware of the change. 

Support for Windows 98 and Windows 98 S.E. had been scheduled to expire
Friday, and for Windows Millennium Edition on December 31. Under
Monday's decision, the software giant would maintain paid phone support
for the operating systems and review security threats to determine
whether it will provide customers with security patches through June 30,
2006.
