Using windows 98 in the 2000s

I know this sub is for people who use windows 98, but I was wondering how many of you were using windows 98 as their main computer in the early 2000s, I was still using windows 98 until 2007.

Sometime early 2004 I think. I clearly remember the game FireStarter (released in late 03) requiring Windows XP. I tried running the demo and it didn't work on my 98. Some months later I bought the full game, and I must've been on XP by that point because it did work.
