If you're running an older version of Microsoft's Windows operating system on your computer, now may be a good time to upgrade. Microsoft recently posted a reminder on its Web site informing Windows users that public and technical support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows Millennium Edition will end on July 11 of this year. According to Microsoft, the company “is ending support for these products because they are outdated and these older operating systems can expose customers to security risks.” Microsoft recommends that those running older editions of Windows “upgrade to a new, more secure Microsoft operating system, such as Windows XP, as soon as possible.” While technical support and security updates for these older operating systems will end on July 11, online “self-help support” will be available from the Microsoft Support Web site until at least July 11, 2007, according to the software vendor. For more information, go to “http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifean18”. Microsoft recently pushed back the public release of its next major update to Windows, Windows Vista, to January 2007.
