Like many other reviewers have said before, there isn't anything too special about Windows 98. I purchased it because the hardware I wanted wouldn't run on Win95. I didn't think installing it would be too difficult, but it turned out to be a big headache. It stalled in the middle of installing. After manually shutting down my computer, I attempted to try and reinstall the upgrade. However, I had problems starting my computer because the windows 95 files had been corrupted by the partial installation earlier. I had to use the system recovery cd that came with my computer to reinstall what was originally on my computer. Only after that was completed was I able to start installing windows 98. During my second installation, a warning popped up saying that there might not be enough space to install all of win98 because I didn't take into consideration the programs that were reinstalled on my comp. I proceeded anyway because I was so tired. Then came the long process of handling all the drivers for the hardware I had, which was tricky as well because I had to install the driver, then reinsert the windows 98 cd, and reboot and reinsert the cd with the driver. Long story short, this entire installation process was tedious. One thing positive however is that my system seems to run a bit (very small bit) faster.
 Stick with the full version of Win98/ME August 11, 2001

My computer was made for Win98,but I wanted to test the upgrade on a older Compaq computer with Win95.So I bought a old computer at a computer show,and bought the upgrade of Windows98.It was very hard to upgrade to Windoes98 like the others have said,and once loaded ran worst then the full version that came with my newer computer.So Then I uninstalled the upgrade and installed Windows98SE cleanly from the cd that came with my newer computer.The install from the full cd version was more stable but yeah it still has a few "normal Windows headaches".So the bottom line is stick with the full version of Windows98/ME and for Godsake do a clean install!
