It's whatever trips your trigger. I run both and can do most anything in 98 that I can in XP. Actually, there are some things I can do in 98 that I *can't* do in XP. I have lots of customers still running 98 and are happy as can be. Their machines are too old to support XP and they see no reason to buy new machines. -- --- A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother. --- |

Anyone who'd recommend PC Chips motherboards has got a screw loose.

You are still in just an intermediate stage of XP-poisoning, if you can

Will we ever learn.
First it was windows, you can run more than one app at time. Yet, most of still ran one. Our first taste of eye candy. Then there were the first two half-broke versions of windows 95. Then some real fixes with versions B and C. And, we could run 32 bit applications. Oooohh. Windows 98, and its demagogue godsend, Windows 98SE came along. Lots more eye candy. Windows Millenium edition, not many people use it except for my daughter. Eye candy galore, and, it can fix itself via a thing called restore. Meanwhile, the business side had its taste of NT and its 4 fixes or Service Packs. Many still use it cause it was hard to break. Windows 2000 with lots of eye candy, and similar to Win98 in appearance and user operation. Friendly they said. But, its had to be fixed 4 times too. Now, a super-bloated operating system comes along in two versions called XP. One for us'ns that stay at home, and us'ns that work in its environment. Its been fixed twice. Not due to the fact it was broke, but because it was easy to low-level access. Easy to break, easy to manipulate by outsiders. Sure has a purty screen. Fixes itself they say. But, you better have a good PC. It will eat your RAM for lunch, and your hard drive for supper. Thing is, we're still communicating, writing memos, documents and so forth in basically the same way. Its just a bit easier to do since leaving an all ms-dos environment. Now, you want me to spend my hard-earned money on a very IFFY motherboard. Pay an even higher pittance to Bill Gates for this? Windows 98 was never fixed, as it was never broken. It was rewritten to support many new-fangled hardware. As was ME. ME was also a test-bed for some of XP's stuff. A PC built in 1990 (do the math) was very expensive at the time. Its operating system and files were relatively small, read small. There was little way for entry and places for a virus to hide. Isn't "progress" wonderful? "RJK" wrote in message ... IMMEDIATELY !!!!

Logically, anything in the computer world made a few years after its predecessor should be "MUCH more up to date". Thanks for pointing that out. ....and its' drivers library is MASSIVE. Yeah, great. I normally need to install drivers several times a day on the same machine, so that is a big help. I'm certain the drivers in the XP database are "MUCH more up to date" than anything the manufacturer has to offer, so this is doubly good. ...and with PChips motherboards going for £27, Pure junk. (admittedly not dual channel), there is no such thing as, "I can't afford to replace my 15 year old PC" !!!! Yep. Just replace your motherboard and you're all set. RAM, CPU, et al, is upgraded magically when you install XP. It will even transform your ATA 66 hard drive into ATA 133 or even SATA if your new motherboard supports it. |
