MS shuts down Win98:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5164450.stm

Actually, this is good news for Unicode Indic.
Take the instance of Tamil in Tamil Nadu, India.
Not only many users users still hang onto Win98,
but cling onto client servers like Eudora
(which turns Unicode Indic texts sent via them
into ???? series).

Likewise, hope Yahoo provides good support
for Unicode Indic in yahoogroups with search capability,
(and hopefully reduce hacked encodings in use.
Even right now, the 8-bit encodings for Indian languages
such as Tamil face problems in yahoogroups, users
indicate.) Yahoo, Inc., managers and employees
need to be sent the UniIndic support request.
