Why would DHS need this ability? Is there something wrong with the media alerts currently used? I would imagine that since this is a government agency, the bureaucracy involved to send an alert would pale in comparison to other news sources. If anything, this would be a glorified Amber Alert
As long as Windows 98 will run AOL, that is what I'll recommend to my Grandmother. I would hazard a guess that the majority of users that are still using Windows 98 aren't power users, and probably haven't gone to Windows Update in a number of years because the downloads take too long over dialup.
I would like to know who this is really going to impact. If an individual is still using 98, Microsoft isn't the primary support. The computer guy at work, your son-in-law, or neighborhood kid is the primary support for Windows 98.
