Problem is, if you're being hit, you can't stay online long enough to get the patch

Anybody know if there are any issues with win98 and this threat, good old MS haven't identified it in either the affected or non-affected categories though my guess would be non-affected if me isn't.
I've not seen any probs on my pc but my connection did go out for a few hours earlier

There is no 64_bit version of XP, just some extended libs that allow it to be run on an Itanium or Opteron processor. Currently the only real 64_bit OS is any one of the unicies, including Linux.
