I can't really comment on your query about what people are going to do with
Win98 after that time. I suppose they would still use it as long as it is
useable. However If anyone is going forward with hardware that may be
somewhat problematic. I doubt if there are many DOS users still out there. I
guess there are a few that still fiddle with Win3, god only knows why.

There are, at least, two different approaches to this issue,
1) Some *Millions* people are keeping the use of older operating systems merely
because they can't afford new ones particularly if we take into consideration
the hardware up grade needed *we can't expect to run XP on MB LX400
and a Celeron 300 with 128MB Ram*.
2) Some people are * over * practical, they simply stick to a certain OS if it
does their particular needs. I know a young active Electronic Engineer
who still using Win3.1 on an old 486 platform to design his multi-layer PCB's
efficiently and doing excellent work with it, he sells his products on contractual
bases globally and thinks of changing OS like Dress Fashion.
Many others *me one of them* like to poking the operating system with DOS
when certain problems arise, we used to it because we started with computers
from the Commodore PET 3003 era and still, for some extent, prefer the keyboard
on mouse oriented apps.
Wish this contribution had shed some light on this issue.
