Windows Fundamentals

Microsoft on Wednesday revealed software that turns older PCs into more modern and secure systems, but in the process also makes them less than full-fledged computers.

The software, known as Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, is designed as a stopgap measure for companies with a significant number of older Windows PCs that they aren't ready to replace and that can't be easily upgraded to Windows XP.

Formerly known by its Eiger code name, Windows Fundamentals gives those PCs some of the security benefits of XP but essentially turns the machines into thin clients, able to run only a few programs locally, with most software needing to run remotely from a server.

From 11 July, Microsoft will no longer help users over the phone with any problems they have with the ageing operating system.

Microsoft will also stop providing security updates for Windows 98 from the same date.
Support for the software was originally due to end in 2003, but was extended following customer protests.
Products affected by closing down the support system include Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me (Millennium Edition).

People are recommended to migrate to a Linux based operating system.

Microsoft has never released a service pack for Windows98 SE! So here it is; the 'unofficial Service Pack 2.1a'. It contains all Windows98 SE updates from Windows Update site and more integrated into a self-extracting and self-installing pack like Microsoft's update files.

You cannot choose files individually. However, the pack installs only required fixes for your system.
This servicepack is for Windows98 SE ENGLISH only
