To all you Windows users:
I heard that starting from June this year, Microsoft will abandon development of the Windows 9X system, and put all its energy into the development of Windows 2000 and XP. This means the vast number of Win 9X users will no longer be able to continue upgrading the system! I wonder whether this news is good or bad for ordinary users? I think it is both good and bad: the good thing is that users can finally openly give Win 9X major surgery; the bad thing is that users can no longer patch up their own Win 9X, because no new patch programs will be developed anymore!
Microsoft really knows how to do business. They found that the Windows 9X system has so many vulnerabilities, and were afraid of spending huge sums to fix them one by one, so they simply abandoned it. Doesn't that just throw off their burden?
I wonder what all you Windows users think; lively discussion is welcome!

That works out perfectly, then we can carry out deeper research on WIN 9x.

Then has the source code for Win9x also been abandoned?

They won't make the source code public, probably. Not very likely.
In terms of serviceability, stability, desktop flexibility, and so on, 9x is all inferior to NT systems like 2000 and xp.
There are also fewer and fewer people using the 9x system now (I think ordinary users probably all use 2k and xp by now, right?)
Microsoft abandoning it is a very good choice.

I still don't know whether they will make the source code public, but I hope they do, so everyone can hack around with 9X to their heart's content!

Right, then IO.SYS can be further modified and streamlined!

I'm new here, please take care of me,
if you want to learn source code, LINUX is even better. If you're studying operating systems, knowing the source code and not knowing it are not the same thing.

呵呵请多多指教了...................

The following is quoted from lidan005's post at 2003-5-5 16:38:33:

Welcome!!
If you want to learn source code, it's not just LIUNX now, even DOS can do it too!! FreeDOS is one example!!
