When all support ends for win-2k, that also means all updates and support for IE6-SP1 will also end. Not sure about IE6-SP2 (that can only be run on XP-SP1 or SP2 and higher - not 2K). Naturally we 98 users have been applying the IE6-SP1 updates and patches to our system that have been made available for win-2k - haven't we?

Why would "we"; these Win2K files: haven't been designed for Win9X; haven't been compiled for Win9X; haven't been tested for vulnerabilities as might be found in Win9X IE6; haven't been tested to see IF they address *any* vulnerabilities within Win9X; and, have not been tested for new vulnerabilities as might then be found within Win9X after installation. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org/ref/windows-main.htm Windows Info, Diagnostics, Security, Networking http://peoplescounsel.org The "real world" of Law, Justice, and Government ___--- |
