Because the client still uses it and sees no reason to change.  I still
reasonably regularly come across desktops on Windows 98 (no longer
supported at all), Windows 2000 (on extended support) and the odd server
on NT4 (no longer supported).  I *run* a couple of Win2K servers, not
least because of the less onerous licensing terms*.  Demanding works if
we're larger than the company of which we're making the demands, but
we're a small company and end up politely suggesting instead.

* Bodington running on Windows 2000 Server *does not* require Windows
CALs for every user; Bodington running on Windows 2003 Server *does*.  A
subtle but expensive change for anyone running a non-Microsoft
application that performs authentication.
