Windows 98/ME End-of-Life
On June 30, 2006 the Office of Information Technology (OIT)
Help Desk ended support for Windows 98, Windows 98SE, and Windows ME. This coincided
with the date on which
Microsoft ended support for Windows 98/ME and discontinued software updates for these older operating systems.
As of the termination date, Microsoft will no longer issue
security patches for Windows 98/ME.
The OIT Help Desk recommends users of Windows 98/ME operating systems upgrade to Windows XP if the computer meets
the
minimum
hardware requirements. Qualified
university personnel can
obtain Windows XP Professional through
OIT Software Licensing.
Students can purchase a discounted upgrade version of Windows XP Professional
at the
University Book Center.
