That OS is 13-14 years old...
It won't stop working (well maybe the activation thingy), you just won't get any kind of security updates, and in some time, it will be unsupported by security software (kinda like 98)
I still have a 98SE machine running (for old games that don't work on modern windows versions), but with some caveats
1- It's not hooked up to the network, and will never be
2- Older hardware will not have driver updates
3- Transferring files is done via DVD-R or CD-R (because no, it won't be hooked up, and no, I don't want to install USB mass storage drivers on it)
The same can be done with XP (activating it might be fun without an internet connection, but I'm pretty sure MS could release a little program that activates XP (but probably won't))
I'm glad not to be working for an ISP, it's gonna be a nightmare for both customers and CSRs when the machines get infected
