There are many people around the world complaining that Google Talk needs a Windows 98 version. This blog post has become a place for people with similar feelings about Google Talk coming together to ask for Google to develop a version for their operating system.
Obviously the larger the network of users, the better it is for Google and others using their software. I wonder if Google will take any action on this matter.

they could make the software to support all windows like msn and yahoo ,aim and more they have versions for all windows google is stupid and they should kick they marketing manager on his ass and get a real pro!

January 28, 2006 at 12:06 amGoogle Talk is just a fancy Jabber (www.jabber.org) client.
If you need to connect to Google Talk from windows 98, download Psi, or Miranda, or GAIM, or any other jabber compatible IM client.
http://psi-im.org/
http://www.miranda-im.org/
http://gaim.sf.net/
Or, you can always use a web-based solution:
http://www.gtalkr.com/
http://www.meebo.com/
Or you could upgrade your systems to an OS that actually takes advantage of the modern hardware available. XP hasn’t been unstable since pre-SP1.

February 2, 2006 at 11:28 amGoogle!.. Please make a version for Win 98 SE. I know I am being pre-historic, but I love Win 98.
Thank You!
suman
February 6, 2006 at 12:55 pmSo there is no version for WIN 98????…..
Google,why dont u just consider all 98ers request and just release one version?…….
I dont think thats difficult for you guys..
Pls..pls….pls….try to make it as early as possible
Thanks you….
Humberto
February 7, 2006 at 5:28 pmhey google, you should make a version for all win 98 users, we are still a lot.
I dont think thats difficult for you.
DipDab_2001
February 9, 2006 at 1:41 pmHi i run windows 98 as well and i think that Google should relly make a Google talk version for 98 becoz i think if they made one for linux we are a lot more than linux so Google get up of ur ass make one!

February 14, 2006 at 6:41 amhi there g00gl3,
I’d be most curious about which technical reason
prevents using google talk on win98, and is there
any workaround solution available?

February 17, 2006 at 7:16 amAlthough Microsoft has launed latest windows including XP,2000, Vista etc, but still most of the peoples around the world are suing windows 98 as their Operating System, and i am the one among them. I need a google talk that runs on win98. I request the Google Team to please launch a google talk for windows 98. Thanks.

Arun Prakash
March 6, 2006 at 12:12 amHi yaar!
Google need to release a version of Google talk which supports win98. Because the low configuration system will not have winXP/win2K. because it needs minimum 64MB of RAM. so those system will be using Win98. So Please Provide google talk which supports win98.
Thanks,
Arun Prakash

March 26, 2006 at 9:03 amWell, you guys all got your prayers answered. You can now use Google’s text chat feature via their GMail service if you set the language to ‘US English’.
As for the notion that Google ‘should’ provide a version of talk for Windows 98 – If you want the latest technologies you have to move with the times. Sticking with outmoded hardware or software is your own decision and noone elses. It’s that simple.
Rich Tehrani
March 26, 2006 at 2:20 pmI think this is a great time for me to chime in. Many users would rather have a software vendor support the latest hardware than the oldest. For example, how many people would want to use Google Talk on handheld WiFi devices such as PDAs?
The flip side to this is that people who have the highest phone bills typically live in areas where salaries are very low and as such they can’t afford the latest technology. There is no easy answer to this dilemma but it is worth pointing out that other VoIP software does support Windows 98 so you aren’t stuck with Google Talk if your computer doesn’t support it.

myk
September 17, 2006 at 1:46 pmI’m on Windows 98 (1st ed.) using Psi as Alan Berman suggested above (he gave liks to different options), and it’s great! There really is no need for Google to create a fix for every app for every service they have for every operating system we might be using, when there’s an online community that can provide apps that do that so well, for free. If they have to do everything for us they’ll just have to become some sort of microsoftian enterprise, and that would be a shame.
Google Earth support for Windows 98 would be nice, though, heh.

September 21, 2006 at 9:55 amInfelizmente, os paÃses de 3º mundo só agora estão tendo acesso a computadores. Sendo assim a grande maioria desses computadores operam o “sistema mais estável” que a microsoft fez o “Windows 98”. Eles tem que encarar essa realidade, e manter por mais um tempo atualizações de programas que rodem windows 98.

if you lot are using windows 98 there is a google talk feature in g-mail but people with the windows 98 version of internet explorer can not accses this feature. But it is compatible with firefox use the below link to download it.
The only setback with google talk in g-mail is that you can not send voicemail
