And the point?
IF users want to consider this one [SP1], since it was originally coded
for the 9X/ME environment WHILE MS was *actively programming* for
Win98SE and ME, there are un-official versions or individual un-official
updates which MIGHT be usable, though I will make no "overly broad"
statement that these should be considered or used, nor that these are
completely safe when installed. Updates to the player beyond that point
are generally leveraged against vulnerabilities in the NT environment.
Interestingly, Microsoft claimed it would supply a CRITICAL update to
WMP9 *after* support end.
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-024
Vulnerability in Windows Media Player Could Allow Remote Code Execution
(917734)
Published: June 13, 2006 | Updated: July 19, 2006
"Are Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, or Windows Millennium
Edition critically affected by this vulnerability?
Yes. This vulnerability is critical for Windows Media Player 9 on
Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition. Critical
security updates for these platforms may not be available concurrently
with the other security updates provided as part of this security
bulletin. They will be made available as soon as possible following the
release. When these security updates are available, you will be able to
download them only from the Windows Update Web site. For more
information about severity ratings, visit the following Web site."
Another for codex:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/window ... nload.aspx
I would, however, NOT consider or recommend *blindly* installing much
further than that level, nor versions beyond 9 which one might find as
these are coded for the newer NT environments and vulnerabilities with
no cross platform [other than the differing NTs] consideration in the
coding even though with some manipulation, they might be installable.

Yeah we know support for W2K is ending, and we think we know when XP
support is ending [2014]. All Microsoft products have Support Life
Cycle, generally only adjusted by court order, pending case activities,
or in the instance of XP, you could say the consumer, where licensing
was extended; however W7 is now out and it seems that users like that
version [unlike VISTA] so XP will find its end.

As for stopping v4 WU, IMO that would be stupid. It takes very little
server space and is no more vulnerable than any other part of Microsoft
or its servers. Though of course I have also warned of this potential
loss of free public access at some point since Win98 will likely
eventually end up in the hands of the "pay for" special user access area
of Microsoft [if it hasn't already].
