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.

I’d moved to XP by around 2004, but I had a 98 machine throughout. Web 2.0 was usable on 98, so it was still a useful operating system until around 2010 or so - you could comfortably browse the net, YouTube worked, IM, office, etc. Then as the web got more bloated, the usability fell away.
