The overwhelming majority of our readers are now using Windows XP Home or Professional, so we will no longer be testing our discs or offering technical support for Windows 98 or Me*, and will offer only limited technical support for Windows 2000*.
With the release of Windows Vista, we expect a slow but steady move to the new Microsoft operating system. Our testing will cover software certified for use with Vista but, for uncertified software, we recommend that you check the product's website for details of compatibility with Vista and for technical support.
* Extended support for Windows 98 and Me has been retired by Microsoft. Windows 2000 is in the extended support phase of its lifecycle until 2010. For further information about Microsoft product lifecycles visit Microsoft Help and Support.
