They already have a Win98 service pack, its called WinME. But unlike the business OS service packs NT/Win2k/WinXP Microsoft released it as a :lol: "whole new" :lol: OS instead of a "look we fixed all the fuc|<ups in this release" download

<b>I use W98SE</b>

Anything to say against?

No, haven't tried Win XP, but Win98SE is good enough for me, so why spend money buying a new OS, format the HD, configure everything, download drivers, etc? A lot of troubles for sure. Worse performace and, you know what, I avoid a good amount of viruses because they are now W98 ready! Incredible but true, don't know what to do on my computer :lol:

Also right now all software (or at least games and common applications) runs for W98SE.

So all in all I prefer to continue with it an I will update when necesary. Remember, if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

Office 2003 will install only on computers with Windows 2000 or Windows XP... no Win9x for Office 2003.

:tongue:

[baldurga]

Sure Zoron!

But I am still with Office 98 ... and don't to spend more money on a new version!

Seriously, I know that I can not install some software or some version, probably with new features, easy of use, etc. Probably because I haven't taste it I don't feel I am loosing something worth (better that way ). Well, but Murphy's Law say they always change what you most use! :lol:

Right now is ok for me, an I am almost sure a lot of people do the same. I am not worried Micro$oft don't give me support, I have survived a lot of time without it.

>Remember, if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

Sure, I just find it amazing someone would find win9x not to be broken

Seriously though, if it works for you, why not.
