Windows98 is now at the end of its Life Cycle. Microsoft's support for Windows98 will expire on Jan 15, 2004. Between now & then, please make sure that you visit Windows Update and retrieve all the updates. If you don't, no computer repair shop (no I) will be able to help you. Should your computer crash after that date, it will be almost impossible to restore the system. Repair shops are encouraged to sell you Windows Millennium as a replacement. If the computer is a Pentium-2 or Pentium-3 processor, putting WindowsME on it is better than putting Windows XP on it.
FYI: WindowsXP is designed for Pentium-4 computers, and particularly 1.5 Ghz speed or faster. I wouldn't put XP on anything slower than a 1.5 Ghz processor.
For all you that thought right away that they would just slap on WindowsNT4.0. Sorry, the last word is that Microsoft will only support this until the summer of 2004. DOH!
