At this point, I'm not sure Microsoft will even *care*, and MS is the only one who would have reason to. They no longer sell or support Win98, and you aren't exactly depriving them of revenue because you don't have licenses for as many copies as you run. Microsoft is far more concerned with large businesses who are under licensed, and may have hundreds or thousands of machines with not quite legal Windows installations. > The computer I'm running Windows 98 > on is under spec for emulation. It only has a K6-2 500 processor. Yep. You could get Linux to run on it, depending upon what you wanted to do, but emulation would be right out. > I wonder if Freedos32 some day will have extensions to support old games > designed for Windows 98? It will if someone competent to do so writes them. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
