I’m not saying there aren’t some still using it. I myself, due to budget constraints, was stuck using Win 98 for far longer that I would have liked.

The point is, that it is no longer supported and therefore no longer safe to use online.  
IMHO it doesn’t make much sense to spend time or money trying to keep it on life support.
