"No one liked Win 98, and it was comprehensively EOL'd by Win XP" That's not true at all. Windows XP was based on NT, so had a very different technical base than 98. It had a completely different driver model, and could not run real-mode DOS apps. There was tons of hardware and software that it couldn't run. There were lots of people running 98 for a very long time to run legacy apps and hardware after XP came out. There probably still are. The big difference is that those machines aren't on the internet, so no software maintenance is required. |
