Care to point me to a Linux vendor that supports their OS for as long as Win98 and ME have been around?

Slackware? It has had security patches since it's birth, which was before Win98.

Didn't Redhat backport a lot of patches to the 2.4 kernel even? ;)

That's the beauty of it, that you don't need to rely on the vendor to get your system secured.

All of them !

GNU/Linux is one OS , with many vendor and supporter.

Windows 98 stopped being supported in 2000 , Microsoft patched it until july 2006.

Windows ME never was really supported , I pitty the fool who got to buy it , it got patched until july 2006.

If you got the money and whant older version upgraded and patched , there are vendors who can do the job for you , but you are better served by the latest offerings.
