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.
