Like ME for example.
And I don't think I'll go any further than Windows XP, IF even I'll ever 
install that. I don't want an "operating system" (Longhorn), that 
consumes 6x times as much power as my PC provides now (Celeron 500 MHz) 
just by doing NOTHING (not to mention the stupidly uneconomical use of 
electricity). If Windows 98 will be totally out-of-date (as Windows 3.1 
is now), then I'll switch to Debian/Linux/KDE forever.

Oh, and to add something to the REAL subject: I recommend wxWindows.
