Nightmares of the Modern Age

[Hechler Family]

Just got an email from another list.

It seems that the DOJ's slap on the hands (MS) did not do any good. MS 
announced that as of IE version 6 service pack 1 will no longer get 
updated for older versions of windows. Meaning that these upgrades *wil 
not* be able to be installed on 98, ME, 95 and futher back!  And that IE 
will be eventually folded into the Operating System and that IE will 
cease to exist as a separate product.
