SEP 12 SBE is not compatable

SEP 12 SBE is not compatable with Win98. You will need to upgrade those clients to Windows 2K at the minimum to protect your clients with SEP 12.

Microsoft doesn't Support Windows 98

Hello,

Microsoft doesn't Support Windows 98.

SEP 12 requires atleast Windows 2000 or Windows XP SP3 or above.

Some good news, some of the

Some good news, some of the malware programs out there don't support 98 either.  I'd suggest heavy user education for those using the 98 machines.  They should only be used for the legacy purposes.  If a task could be done on a newer computer, then it can't be done on those machines.
