So you're saying to go with 98.

I'm not saying go with 98SE.

It was the most stable of it's day, but with today's hardware, software and security climate, it's simply not sufficient. I'd recommend XP.

Linux, but if your choices are only 98 and XP, then XP.

I'd go with Linux before I went with 98. Some of the newest distros are almost as easy as XP to set up. I have had pretty good luck with Gentoo.

No. Upgrade to WinXP-Pro. Win98's junk.

Actually, what RF said was:

"Go with XP. 98SE was OK in its day, but for functionality and program compatibility, XP is your best bet."

in which frankly the phrase "Go with XP" leads me to believe RF is not endorsing 98.
