I'm still running Win98 on 1 workstation.  The reasons is very simple, I 
don't have to pay for what I've already got, it doesn't have passport, and 
it runs everything I need to run.

All I need a Windows machine for is accounting and desktop publishing.  So 
far I haven't been able to justify the cost of buying a newer WinOS, or 
the hassle of installing a newer WinOS.  As long as OpenOffice and my 
accounting package will run on Win98 I'll probably stay with Win98, worts 
and all ;)
