Microsoft will retire Windows 98, SQL Server 7. Office XP Professional with FrontPage, Publisher 2002, Windows NT 4.0 and Small Business Server 2000 will all undergo changes by the end of the month.

Microsoft said that after the deadline the products would no longer be available through its MSDN developer Web site or “other channels at Microsoft.” In the posting, dated Dec. 4, the company said the shift was “due to a settlement agreement reached in January 2001” related to a Java licensing agreement between Sun and Microsoft.

does that mean we can copy the software and use it anyway we want to now ?

I think it would still be under copyright protection.

Will 98 still be supported in Windows Update?

98 is already retired. Windows Update still works with 98, for now.
