Unhappy Zone Alarm ends support for 98!

Just went to update ZA on my 98 box to find that it's no longer supported.
Another nail in the coffin.

Can't be suprised? If I were a company, I would have done it too. This probably saves that company 100s of thousands of dollars a year. If the demand was still there, I could see it, but it's not there.

I'm not really surprised SD either. It's just another nail in the coffin.

Difficult to know how they know the demand though when they never marketed ZA by OS!

Surprise !!! But there are programs that will not run on anything later than win98se/me (well).

I'm going back to playing Descent II which beats most games today for replay value.

BTW This is being typed and sent to you all courtesy of win98se.

I guess you guys don't run earlier games then.

They run well on win98se but not so well on win2k and later.
