Subject: More States Say Windows XP Poses Antitrust Issues
Interesting read. Last line states: "They also expressed some
concern that Microsoft will withdraw support for current versions
of Windows, which are used by many state government agencies."

That being the case, if you are a Win NT/95/98 shop and the
pinhair complains about Linux being "unsupported" (when you seek
to replace Windows with Linux), one can make a good case that the
current OS will also be unsupported.
