Actullay the word around here is that Micro$soft has no plans for
updateing Win3x for Y2K. The main reason being is that M$ dosent want
anyone using anything less than Win9x or better yet NT. They basicly
want it to die and they know for sure Y2K will kill it if they let it.
It is really quite sad I think, I have seen companys throw working
computer in the trash because they are not fast enough to run Win95. In
fact I have seen the company I work for throwing them away.
