I can see two reasons: cost and personal preference. Upgrading isn't cheap and some people resent being pushed into spending more money when what they use works fine for them. And some people simply like what they are using more than the upgrade. There's tons of people staying on Windows Media Player 6.4 because they can't stand version 7. I'm still using Office 97 even though we have 2000 available because I like it better.

A lot of people are tired of being pushed to upgrade all the time. But I do agree with the last part. If you choose to stick with what you have, you really can't complain when the latest and greatest doesn't work with it. It's just a fact of life that choosing to upgrade one thing often forces you to upgrade other things, too. So you either stay with everything you've been using or upgrade everything you need to get the one you want.

>Lots of folks didn't want to leave Win 3.1 either. Simply put, there's no reason not to go to at least Win98. By comparison it's more stable than 95 ever was, although not near so much as Win2K.

However, if any problems arise, there's no support since it's running under an OS that isn't listed in the System Requirements. Further, there's no support for the OS period after 12/31/2001. Why not upgrade?
