To cut off the Microsoft bashing... Win98 is over 8 years old. WinME (which was never any good anyway, and probably why Win98 wasn't EOL'd before) is over 6 years old. It's a reasonable end-of-life time for either/both.

Recommendation to all Windows users: Get a Mac. Or, in this case, you can spend an order of magnitude less money and upgrade to WinXP.

Unsolicited advice is worth exactly the price paid for it.

"Microsoft again warned today that customers face security risks if they use some of its ageing operating systems after it ends support for them next month."
Can someone explain to me how you would face security risks after MS ends the support? How would there be anymore security risks than before they ended support?

It's about time. Microsoft has actually been generous in supporting these ancient operating systems for so long.

Windows ME has never run well on any computer I've owned. Good riddance.

So, is it possible to upgrade my operating system or is it cheaper to just get a whole new PC?

Anybody still using Windows 98 probably still uses a VCR and drives a 1986 Ford Escort. Anybody still using Windows ME probably still uses AOL and that talking paper clip thing in Microsoft Office.

UGH, I've got ME!
Does anyone here know if there is a version of XP for home networks that does not make you pay $100 per pc?
