Critical Security Bulletin MS03-026

If this vulnerability is as critical as Microsoft and the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security indicate, why doesn't
Microsoft test and offer a patch for the millions of
Windows 98 users?

Because 98 and ME are not vulnerable.

That's why.

"Don't lose sight of security. Security is a state of being,
not a state of budget. He with the most firewalls still does
not win. Put down that honeypot and keep up to date on your
patches. Demand better security from vendors and hold them
responsible. Use what you have, and make sure you know how
to use it properly and effectively."

95/98/M.E. do not have the problem. If it ain't broke,
don't fix it.
