Yup it is.
Just put a decent virus scanner on it.

Hmm... I think this is them trying to acclimate us to how they plan to make Vista succeed so that we don't respond quite as harshly when they do the same to XP... I claim conspiracy!

Users of the Windows 98 operating system should soon permanently disconnect their machines from the internet.
├óÔé¼┼ôThis reduces the risk that viruses will exploit security holes in the system,├óÔé¼┬Ø
MUHAHAHA!!!! What a joke!
«You should not drive to recude risks of having an accident!»
«You should not leave home to reduce risks of premature death!»
«You should buy a whole new computer with a new OS from Microsoft! Hey. look, Microsoft is launching a new OS just around the corner (well, actually in a year).»

Nobody should be using a pre2000 version of windows, Antivirus and firewalls arent enough to protect you even it you're on an XP system or Vista or 2000, you need to configure the OS correctly and apply all the latest patches, and that just cant be done on a 9x OS anymore.

Computers running Windows 98 best unhooked from internet
Finally Microsoft needed 8 years to come to this conclusion. LOL

XP will run on a 233mhz 64MB ram pc with all the fancy graphics turned off.
2000 will run on similar specs
For all else there's linux
There's no excuse for keeping Windows 95/98/ME on a PC, if you cant afford to upgrade, go get a free copy of linux, I beleive there are literally thousands of free linux distributions....

Oh, for the love of all that is holy in this world.
If we could 'force' all ppl with a pentium 1 to run linux, the world would already be a better place to live in.
