how come microsoft dropped support for 9x and ME on the same day?

[togermano]

windows ME is a few years newer then 98se so it doesn't make sense

Becuase most people HATED ME and it had a smaller user base so they killed it.

Wrong. It's because Win98 support was extended back in 2003.

By the way, Win9x is also Win95, you know. That support was dropped back in 2001.

If M$ sold w9x again, fully updated as we have it (Not even a redisigned version), but just with modern hardware supports, I wonder how much they would sell...
