Windows 98 (codenamed Memphis) is a graphical operating system by Microsoft. It is the second major release in the Windows 9x line of operating systems and the successor to Windows 95. It was released to manufacturing on May 15, 1998 and to retail on June 25, 1998. Windows 98 was also famous for its startup tune,[citation needed] composed by Microsoft sound-engineer Ken Kato. Like its predecessor, Windows 98 is a hybrid 16-bit/32-bit[4] monolithic product with an MS-DOS based boot stage.[5] Windows 98 was succeeded by Windows 98 Second Edition on May 5, 1999, then by Windows ME (Millennium Edition) on September 14, 2000. Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 98 and 98 SE on June 30, 2002, and extended support for the two operating systems (as well as for Windows ME) ended on July 11, 2006.
