Still running Windows 98 on this box. Works fine for what I do and I have no plans to upgrade any time in the foreseeable future. It's a perfectly serviceable OS.

And this is the original 98 not the second edition. As long as they continue to manufacture peripherals that will plug into my board and run under 98, there's nothing wrong with it and I am not shelling out 100 dollars for a whole new set of headaches.

lets see.. what was added in 98se... oh yeah.. full usb support.. full agp support.. ndis5 networking... lots of nice things there just to name a few :) and since 98 is at end of product life... THERE ARE NO MORE SECURITY UPDATES OR PATCHES....

unpatched systems are the promiscuous 17 year olds spreading our cyber STDs without protection..... (dont take this as an attack against you.. its far from it.. its an attack on windows 98 and all computers running out of date and support operating systems) hey dood check me out, im gonna hack this 98 box!!! (presses esc at login)
