Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) will stop supporting Windows 98 on January 16th, although the software giant has said it may continue to release security patches for the older operating system if security problems warrant it. The company ceased its free Windows 98 support on July 1, 2003, and began charging callers US$35 per incident. After the January 16th cut-off date, users will need to consult the Microsoft Web site for help.
