Default Hey, it's up and running!

That's pretty much the way I felt when I scored this $90 Compaq XP
machine. I am still running W98 on 3 or 4 machines around here tho. My
wife and I have XP Pro on the two we use all the time. There just got
to be too many new things not supported on W98 and I was dragged
kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

Win2K has got W98 beaten by the proverbial country mile, and you can
still get drivers for just about everything. It was a huge step
forward in reliability, ease of installation, processor support, you
name it. XP has a few nice features that I like but it was just a
small step for the average user.
