my gramps, that's not the beacon of good business practice you think it is 🤣
The question at hand is whether or not there are enough engineers to feasibly support Windows 98. Try and work on your reading comprehension.
No. The question at hand is whether you expect any company, or any person, to indefinitely fix and maintain legacy systems. And yes, your argument is indefinite support because you want the purchasing machine to be granted use of the software in perpetuity, you want it to never lose access to the software. You provided no deadline by which anyone is allowed to stop fixing things that broke. And yes, things break naturally as a function of time.
Why don't you go ahead and explain the exact mechanism that causes software to change and would cause a computer to interpret it differently over time, without a human intervening and updating it to break it.
Don't worry, we'll wait.
