LOL, I used to run Win98, actually I only dumped it 3-4 months ago. The reasoning was due to me being tired of fiddling with it. I was spending 5 days a week in the Pacific Northwest, or Redwood city ( I live in Fresno, Ca) and one weekend I had just picked up a game I wanted to play. I installed a new video card, and my system wouldn’t boot. My current Win98 install was a mess. I had kept half heartedly doing things to make it work, rather than doing the right things. For example, It had been installed on an Abit BP6 motherboard, and then migrated to an Intel i820 board. All hardware had changed. The machine refused to run Scandisk or defrag. It would only reboot if You powered off the system. So I bit the bullet and went Win2K. With 512 megs Ram, on a SCSI based system, with a GeForce2 Ultra Card, Win2k may have been slower playing games, but I didnt notice it. I then ran into a DVD issue, and decided to install XP. Solved my Video issue, and all was well. I have a 50" Sony LCD projection Monitor, and with XPs Clear type font smoothing, my system has never looked so good. I like the stability of being able to come home from traveling, and pop in a game. No worry of rebooting or not, and so far no lockups while I am out of town, as Win98 did numerous times.
