[Simh] Win98SE memory management problem

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello!
Actually, Windows 98SE had gotten its EOL note written sometime last
year. Or even sometime about three years earlier. ME on the other hand
had gotten its ticket written to be sometime in July of this year.
Perhaps even the same time period. As you've noted. Personally because
of ME's obnoxiously kludge like behavior I had personally planned on
having the entire collection transported to a certain planet when the
time comes but I'll agree with you.

However according to the folks at Microsoft I know regarding those
issues, they tell me that even though PSS has been told to not support
Windows 98SE and probably Win95, there will be physical support
performed via the web. That goes on for a good many months after the
actual fall from the rest of that method happens. Because even though
I remember reading that did happen via something on my ISP's
homepages, the company did do as I've stated.

If anyone is curious I can ask around at the next gathering and report
back here.
