[Trlog] No more support for Windows 98

[w6ah@comcast.net]

John  

Microsoft's new OS named VISTA is in the final stages of Beta test and is scheduled to be released this summer. If all goes well distribution of XP will cease before Labor Day. Word among computer types is Microsoft will continue to support XP for 4 to 5 years. VISTA will require the user to have at least 1.0 Ghz of processor speed as well as requiring the use of special PCI-2 video cards.

There are no plans at this time to upgrade Windows Server 2003 at this time.
