Seriously (and here's where I will get catcalls) this is why I wish MS -did- have a way to force more people to literally upgrade; If you're still running Win98, etc. I'd prefer they almost say "sorry, we don't support that product at all anymore"
You can say "oh, that's unfair" but call Ford and see if you can get parts for a Pinto. Or Chevy if you can get parts for a 68 whatever; you have to go aftermarket. At a certain point, it's true of all products, software is not the exception to the rule. I've had to replace books because they were tattered (See: Hitchhiker's Guide, Discworld, Dune and numerous others). Call Apple up and see about getting support for Mac System 7 or your Apple Lisa, they'll tell you to jump in a lake.
