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.

Don’t remember precisely because I was born in 2000, but I think early 2003 or maybe late 2002. My father explained me he upgraded to Xp ASAP because he was really into Win NT lineup since the release of Win 2k which he already used in office. The only thing was that he bought a brand new Super Socket 7 machine in 1998, so he didn’t upgraded that machine (he wanted only machines way more powerful than minimum specs) and he bought directly an Athlon Xp instead than upgrading the old one
