Or, at least have some sort of plan of how you'll move stuff over time to newer stuff that will run on 7, so you're not stuck on 98 for all time.
I've made the switch quite nicely actually and am enjoying the new machine; we've had it now since spring. The old machine is gathering dust, however my electronic address book (Palm Zire) died the other day (batteries I suspect), so the back up info is all on my old machine; that's all that I really want. The other more prevalent reason for doing this is to gain the knowledge of just doing it. I'll learn about VMs this way.
