Windows 98 users better upgrade to XP. Microsoft is pounding the final coffin nails into 98. The funeral is next Friday. (01/16/2004 ) More: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/01/04/2158233
They won't, at least not in any predictable timeframe. All the people on this list are an order of magnitude (at least) more technically aware than the average PC user, particularly if the PC was purchased for him/her to carry out some specific task (such as teaching) by an under-funded organisation with little or no interest in paying Microsoft after the initial purchase to buy more stuff (to such an organisation, an OS is stuff - and it's usually in the hardware budget). The upgrade philosophy of this type of user is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". In a year or so they may throw away the PC and start again because they really need the added speed and functionality that a more modern machine will provide, but that's pretty much all you can hope for. I'm talking about schools, primarily.
