microsoft has officially stopped support for windows 98 and all manufacturers are concentrating on xp. many drivers are not available for 98 any more. to gauge how old 98 is think microsoft has released 3 oses after it and now [hopefully] this year vista will be launched. bringing the count to four.
most games work without a hitch on xp. new games in fact dont run on 98. to top it all to find a new box of 98 would be near immpossible as it dosnt retail in stores any more.

agree 98 is comfortable wit low end pcs...rest is for xp...it not only has advantage of detecting hardwares n installing them without a fuzz but it also makes full utilisation of ur agp card esp if itsa onboard agp....sp2 is kool....though u need to keep it updated....so cant leave it alone

cheers

man, 98 is uncomparable to xp because

1. 98 loads slower than xp
2. xp's task manager is far away than the primitive 98
3. surf the net in xp and feel the difference
4. turn off all the beauty in xp and you'll see the juice that can be squeezed.

well folks, need not compare xp wit 98....they come from same parent..microsoft....so if microsoft has released xp after 98, me, 2000 etc....they mean they have launched their newer versions of os wit benifits....so xp is d advanced version of 98 (u can say dat indirectly)...need not compare those two...or if u do u may also compare pentium 2 wit pentium 4....

cheers
