Geekgirl, thanks a lot for bringing the MS announcement to our attention.

My question is if the redistributable updates for Win98SE will remain available in the MS site (I couldn't figure it out from the linked page).

You see, we have a number of older machines running on Win98SE, and they're doing just fine (we've kept 98 as their OS, simply because it's doing what it's supposed to do - namely, to provide a stable OS for old pc's that run sufficiently the simple applications they're supposed to run).

What's the best practice for gathering all the necessary updates that are issued till July 11th (so that we have them handy in cases of OS recovery / re-installation)?
