Sun forces final death of Win98, Office 2000, etc
Posted by Voodoo on 08 Dec 2003 - 17:05

Microsoft will pull the plugs on MSDN downloads of
a range of products, including Windows 98, Office 2000,
SQL Server 7 and NT Workstation, next Monday. These
contain the polluted Java which, according to the
settlement with Sun, Microsoft has to stop supporting.
So it's all Sun's fault, really. Up to a point. The deal
with Sun doesn't actually require Microsoft to completely
kill off its JVM finally until September of next year, so
it's clearing the decks early, and perhaps conveniently.
The demise of Office 2000, SQL 7 and ISA Server 2000
in particular will help usher users along the company's
recommended upgrade paths. Microsoft will be issuing new,
settlement compliant, versions of Office XP Pro,
Publisher 2002, NT Server 4.0 and Small Business
Server 2000.

Officially, the issue for Microsoft is one of support
rather than availability. Windows 98 and NT 4.0
Workstation licences, for example, ceased to be offered
through system builders earlier this year. Developers
use the MSDN download facility, however, for support
and backward compatibility purposes. Prudent developers
will therefore be spending the next week grabbing
images 'just in case', while the surreal-minded among
you might care to conjure with the notion of Win98
ISOs showing up on P2P networks, with Sun lawyers
in hot pursuit.

Depressingly, the cull doesn't seem to cover the unlovely
Windows ME, which only just comes out of the OEM
channel at the end of this month, and will remain
street-legal via the more desperate class of system
builder for another year. You might care to note that
here, WinXP is scheduled to be pulled out of the OEM
channel at the end of 2005, which means that the
lifecycle roadmappers at least are still looking for
Longhorn in Q3-4 2005.
