Subject: 70 million computers are using Windows 98 right
	now

Today is the day Microsoft has stopped support for Windows 98, including
security updates.

Hackers are expected to take advantage of this to send a politcal message to
Microsoft and focus on Windows 98 to give the operating system a final
sending off on its way to the graveyard, as 70 million computers are shut
out by the Redmond based corporation. Meanwhile, dedicated Windows 98 user
outcry is starting to ripple through the internet, as computer geeks mourn
the shuttering of Windows 98 support for its estimated 70 million computer
users. Microsoft is advising its 70 million Windows 98 users to update their
systems to Windows XP with immediate affect.
