 Of course. There's still users of DOS, Win3.1, old Linux versions, you
name it, people get used to something, it becomes part of their life.
 That is, after all, what this forum is for, to help the 9X users. Its
still a functional OS, its just about to find itself without much in the
way of AV or other protections. No one in that area seems to be paying
much attention to it for that type of activity.

 Yeah, seems its hard to please Windows users, of course it is a large
investment to use the new OSs... OH and that wasn't from MVPs but
testers and other users [at least not specifically]...

 But you're apparently using Linux anyway...
