Clearly ending support is the best way to get users that don't care to upgrade!

How do you force a few million clueless Win9x users to install a newer system?
Well, have the next virus wipe and repartition their harddisk. They are too stupid to install an OS anyway, and use whatever they use because "it came with the 'puter".
Wipe them clean and force them to install from scratch, i.e. ask someone else to do it for them. With any luck, most of them will get a more recent OS.
