I've asked elsewhere but I'll also ask here, as this place is chock full of accurate info & very knowledgable users.

Anyone have any idea, or know for sure how this is gonna shake out, or where to inquire of M$ as to how this is gonna work/not work? (Already thinking last-chance-for-a-full-update-&-burn-to-CD-R.)

eg, As a W's 98SE user, I'm still running, by choice, IE ver 5.5 sp2, MP ver 7, & DX ver 8.1.

Does this mean I/we're gonna be locked out of even the possibility of upgrading these, according to M$ & the DOJ, non-OS portions of the empire' new & improved code after 30 June 2003?

TIA.
