   I used Windows 2000 before, but can't remember if it has auto update   
   feature. Windows 9x/ME don't have it either, if I'm not mistaken. But it's   
   reassuring to know that Microsoft don't try to kill old Windows.   
      
   I think they are killing it. By not supporting it, they are releasing   
   grandma to take home from the hospital because there is nothing more they   
   can do for her...so they say. And as far as shelf life goes, definitely OS   
   have them. I have an opened can of Windows 98 SE sitting on my ledge and the   
   flies are loving it. ;)
