When Microsoft pulls the plug on Windows 98 support next Friday, it will offer a free CD designed to help users "make the most" of the aging operating system without any further assistance from the software giant.

Microsoft announced last year that it would stop supporting Windows 98 beginning Jan. 15, meaning that million of users will soon be left exposed when new exploits and vulnerabilities are discovered.
