SWEDIN WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY DAVIS ABSTRACT In 2006, IBM ended their support of OS/2, closing the book on an ambitious effort to create a modern operating system for the personal computer. IBM and Microsoft released the OS/2 operating system in December 1987 to replace the primitive DOS with a more sophisticated, preemptive multitasking operating system for personal computers. This article argues that OS/2 failed because of the U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement of 1986, subsequent accusations of DRAM chip dumping by the United States, and the resulting tariffs on Japanese memory chips, led to a memory chip shortage that drove up memory prices.

  • Page 1 of 3 How to Enable NTLM 2 Authentication 2/8/2012 Http
    How to enable NTLM 2 authentication Page 1 of 3 Article ID: 239869 - Last Review: January 25, 2007 - Revision: 4.7 How to enable NTLM 2 authentication System Tip This article applies to a different version of Windows than the one you are using. Content in this article may not be relevant to you. Visit the Windows 7 Solution Center This article was previously published under Q239869 SUMMARY Historically, Windows NT supports two variants of challenge/response authentication for network logons: • LAN Manager (LM) challenge/response • Windows NT challenge/response (also known as NTLM version 1 challenge/response) The LM variant allows interoperability with the installed base of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 98 Second Edition clients and servers. NTLM provides improved security for connections between Windows NT clients and servers. Windows NT also supports the NTLM session security mechanism that provides for message confidentiality (encryption) and integrity (signing). Recent improvements in computer hardware and software algorithms have made these protocols vulnerable to widely published attacks for obtaining user passwords. In its ongoing efforts to deliver more secure products to its customers, Microsoft has developed an enhancement, called NTLM version 2, that significantly improves both the authentication and session security mechanisms. NTLM 2 has been available for Windows NT 4.0 since Service Pack 4 (SP4) was released, and it is supported natively in Windows 2000. You can add NTLM 2 support to Windows 98 by installing the Active Directory Client Extensions. After you upgrade all computers that are based on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows NT 4.0, you can greatly improve your organization's security by configuring clients, servers, and domain controllers to use only NTLM 2 (not LM or NTLM).

  • Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, and Windows ME Courtesy of Nashville Home Linux Solutions
    Important information for users of Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, and Windows ME courtesy of Nashville Home Linux Solutions FACT: As of July 2006, Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, and Windows ME (Millennium Edition). What does this mean for you? Microsoft©s end-of-support announcement means that users of Windows 95, 98, and ME will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, and other patches for their computer©s operating system. It also means that future releases of Microsoft software (such as Media Player, Internet Explorer, and Outlook Express) will no longer support these operating systems. Users of these versions of Windows will not benefit from enhanced features and security in these new versions. Why should I be concerned? Windows 95, 98, and ME are based around the DOS operating system, an inherently insecure operating system. Users of DOS-based Windows will become increasingly at risk for viruses, spyware, malware, and system intrusions as new holes and exploits are discovered in these operating systems and the older software that runs on them. In addition, software vendors (including makers of anti-virus and other security products) will be phasing out support for these operating systems now that Microsoft has ended its support. If you are connecting your DOS-based Windows operating system to the Internet, you need to take action to secure your computer. What are my options? If you would like to continue to operate on your current hardware, you have a few options available to you: 1. Upgrade Windows Microsoft©s only currently-available Windows workstation operating system is Windows XP (Home or Professional).

  • Remoteboot of Windows 95/98 from Os/2 Warp Server
    REMOTEBOOT OF WINDOWS 95/98 FROM OS/2 WARP SERVER MICHO DURDEVICH Abstract. We explain how to set up diskless Windows 95/98 workstations that remote boot from OS/2 Warp Server, using the 802.2 RIPL Service. We present several different configurations of Windows RIPL clients, and discuss a couple of interesting problems appearing in the game. The basics of the OS/2 Warp Server RIPL Service is presented, too. 1. Introduction This article is devoted to studying a very interesting way of integrating Windows with OS/2 Warp Server working environment. We shall explain in detail how to set up a remote boot diskless workstation to load Windows 95/98 (together with the appropriate applications) directly from an OS/2 Warp Server. This opens an exciting new possibility to extend IBM’s and Serenity Systems’ OS/2-based managed client philosophy to Win32 platforms. In other words, we are going to set up RIPL (Remote Initialization and Program Load) for Win95/98 clients. The main strategy used here is relatively straightfor- ward. The first real-mode phase of Win95/98 boot process is essentially a plain DOS. The transition to protected-mode regime occurs during the second boot phase, when the graphical part is loaded. Accordingly, our Win95/98 client will be under- stood, from the OS/2 Warp Server viewpoint, as a DOS client. This client will be configured appropriately, so it will be able to RIPL a full-blown version of Windows. It should be noted however, that this is not a documented feature of Windows nor OS/2.
