    You missed one.

    But Windows 98 still does it's business like it did back in 1998. Still works for some. I see no reason why it dying makes it anything less than what it has been for the last 5+ years. And as such, could still be useful. I still have Win98SE in vmware and intend to keep it goin for a while yet :)
