One thing that many people don't realize (from my personal experience) is that contrary to popular belief, Win98SE is a good all around desktop OS to use. It can run most things like productivity apps and games, and with 128-256MB of RAM, its quite fast even on an old laptop like mine. Unlike XP, it doesn't have a million services running, nor does it have the nasty UPnP stuff from WinME.
I agree! I don't run much M$Windows, with the exception of dual boot for occasional games, but I stopped at 98SE, having had problems with everything later. Unfortunately, I cannot keep my relatives and customers from buying new machines with XP, the worst thing I've seen yet. -- William Allen Simpson Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32
