Major reason to still be running Win95 or 98 is that 2K and XP won't install on the majority of 6 year old systems because they do not have a fast enough processor - ( and not enough memory or disk space to run the current versions of the major office package from MS) so people who are reasonably happy with their older software's functionality don't need to pay microsoft and Intel more money (do you really need much of MS word's facilities to write a letter to your builder)
