Re: NAV 2006 no longer supports WinMe & 98 users
Well said Blackbird.
I have a 98SE box sitting out in the living room--unfortunately the last 9x box in the house as my needs seem to be outgrowing 98's capability after all these years--and it does its job admirably.
It's an entertainment center. Movies and music, piped to the stereo and the tv. It also provides internet access to that end of the house. Given the hardware in the box, it couldn't do its job any better with a newer OS, and would probably even suffer.
If a virus somehow did get loose in my lan, I must say the 98 box would be just as well protected as the two Windows 2000 hosts. All rely on commercial AVs and Kerio. I might note now that I never suffered a compromise or infection under 98 and GPFs and BSODs were extremely rare. 98 proved to be quite resilient for me, with a little care.
