AFAIK, All Win9X will continue to receive Critical Updates through the
Win Update process for some time, as described below.
All non-critical support is by Fee per Incident.
Windows 98 and Windows ME are now being serviced under our Paid Incident
Support model.
We have a Lifecycle website that explains how support currently works
for Windows 98/ME. The following link will take you to the Windows
Lifecycle and you can read the current support model for Windows 98/ME.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];LifeWin
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;%5bln%5d;LifeWin>
I want to specifically point our Review note #4 which applies to both
Windows 98 and ME -
