Why should I update my operating system?
Microsoft Windows NT® Workstation and Windows 95 have reached the end of their product support life cycles. Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) support has been extended until June 2006.
Updates that were provided for Windows 98 are available on an archived basis on the Windows Update site. The Microsoft Support Web site also provides a number of resources you can use to find help.
We recommend that you upgrade your operating system to Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home Edition in order to take advantage of Automatic Updates and other security features introduced since the operating system you are using was released.
