Anyway, I meant to say that there are alternatives for everything. Here's
but one of many:

BTW, you're now living with over 21 vulnerabilities that were built into
XP and that MS has yet to patch.

So..., who needs MS? Here's another free alternative that works:

There are folks I know that are still using Windows 95.

Windows 98/SE/ME Support Gone
Have you heard the news? Microsoft recently announced that the support for
the Windows 98, 98 Second Edition (SE) and Millennium (ME) versions
expired on July 11, 2006 (which was Tuesday of this week). This means that
Microsoft is cutting off any public and technical support to its customers
from now on. This expiration also includes security updates.
The reason Microsoft is doing this is basically because the products
within these Windows operating systems are outdated. They also pose higher
security risks to the customers who still use these versions.
You may have heard tales of Microsoft ending their support for 98/SE/ME at
earlier dates, but according to them, it is really over this time. Just to
reiterate, all support (including online self-help and paid support) and
all critical security updates have ended for these operating systems. You
can still use these versions, but no support whatsoever will be given
anymore.
All users who still use Windows 98, 98SE and ME are urged to upgrade to a
higher version. The most secure choice is obviously XP, but Windows also
has a new system called Vista coming out later this year. So, if you still
use an older version, you may want to start thinking about which new one
will be best for you.
