[Cialug] WOT: Locating Windows 98 ISOs?

[Josh More]

Google Search:  "Windows 98" filetype:iso

There are a few seeders over on PirateBay.

I don't see any first edition copies on Usenet.

Scan the hell out of whatever you download:  ClamAV, Kaspersky,
MalwareBytes, AVG, Avira, etc.

Since MS cancelled their legacy programs, I don't know of any ways to get a
legitimate copy.

(To defray any snide comments, I have to play in the pirate space these
days to protect my own and my clients' intellectual property.  Leak
detection and whatnot.)
