Why? That effort is far better spent on developing new things and taking advantage of modern hardware.
People need to upgrade. I'm surprised any machine running Vista could even use the modern web.

Upgrade all you want, some modern machines just can't run the software needed to talk to and control old industrial, fire, medical, etc equipment.
Somewhere out there is a Windows 98 machine controlling an industrial machine that will out live early posters on HN.
The only things really driving upgrades are gaming and web browsing. If you dont need to do either of those, you could probably get by with windows 9x
People do not, in fact, need to upgrade.
