This Washington Post story is a reminder that folks out there who are still using Windows 98 or Windows ME will have to fend for themselves as of July 11th: Microsoft is ceasing support for those aging versions of its OS. "Ceasing support" means, among other things, that Microsoft won't deliver security patches, though you've got to wonder whether most of the people still on Windows versions that old are very fastidious about installing updates even if they're available.

If you're reading this post, chances would seem to be that this development won't impact you directly--only around 3.5 percent of visits to PCWorld.com were made via one of those Windows editions.
What other OSes are PCWorld.com visitors using? According to site statistics for June, 83.66 of visits were made with Windows XP, 7.37 percent used Windows 2000, 3.74 percent used Mac OS X, and 1.08 percent used Linux. (Oh, and a grand total of eleven visitors apparently used Amigas; those folks, at least, don't need to worry much about anyone writing viruses or spyware to attack their machines.)
Anyhow, if you're still running Windows 98 or ME, how do you feel about their impending orphan status, support-wise? And what's your roadmap, if any, for upgrading to a more recent operating system?
