Win 98 Update Fees?

If it were still April 1, I'd suspect this wasn't serious, but the CNET News.com sent along by Maverick titled Microsoft to charge for Windows 98 bug fixes is dated today. The piece announces a plan called StepUp that they say will offer enhancements to Windows 98 to current users at a cost. Here's a quote:

Current users, however, will have to pay for the privilege to clear out their bugs with StepUp. Microsoft is going to offer the upgrade package for an estimated retail price of $89, according to a spokeswoman from Waggoner Edstrom, Microsoft's PR firm. Microsoft will sell the StepUp CD on its Web site, but not post the bug fixes and other technologies for free downloads, she said.
