So do I. I am fully capable of keeping those machines secure online, something which M$
cannot do.
Win 98, though... I don't see the point of using it
any more. It can't do anything that XP can't do far better.
As I noted upstream, XP is useless for MS-DOS programs that need access to the UART's
registers, and that is something that I sometimes need for work. Some of us have to deal
with decades-old hardware that still does what it was intended to do, is still
maintainable, and that would be very expensive for a client to replace.
