More realistically, they have hardware that can't run anything newer (excluding Linux for argument's sake), compatibility issues (I have a couple win98 PCs are work b/c of this), don't use a computer enough to justify the cost of an upgrade etc etc.  There are lots of possible reasons.  Automatically assuming someone is stupid is a really bad way to go through life.

Sorry, I still need 98 to run a number of old applications that XP does not tolerate.

Umm, they can't afford it? It's a corporate environment where it'd cost millions to upgrade? It's a corporate environment where all their programs are designed for Win98? etc.

There are a lot more reasons than lacking knowledge.

I've got a 1 gallon ziplock bag full of discs for Microsoft Office if you want it.

I have two PCs running XP, a Mac with OSX and two other machines...still running 98SE. And believe it or not, I still need them for apps I can't run in XP, downloading songs and so on. One of them is just a typewriter machine, it's a Pentium (Pentium I)! and the other is a very powerful PIII. I should get rid of the Pentium, right? Geez! I have it since more than ten years!



Semper Fi!

Or it could be the fact that 70 million users are using the easiest pirated Windows in exsistance.  Or it could be they just don't give a rats ass.  Take your pick.

exactly. my mom would still be running ME if i hadn't given her my old 2000 pro. her computer couldn't handle xp well and for what they need, office and internet,  the 850 duron with 128 of sdram is quite sufficiant. granted i can't stand going from my pc to thiers but they could care less.

I install Win 98SE on old PC's I repair a get back running to give to people without PCs. Win 98SE works for this  because these PC's don't meet XP's specs, or just barely and the Software, if you can find it, can be cheap. I normally get the CD's and Product Keys  off of machines that have died and recycle 'em.

When Microsoft EOL (End Of Life) a product, it's normally more of a money issue. They EOL a product to try to force people to upgrade and keep the money rolling in.

It's a bunch of bums and poor foreigners that just want to use a comp for the basics and can't afford to upgrade to XP.  I remember way back like ten years ago when my dad let me use a Windows 3.0 when I was around 4 years old.
