 Keep your money!!! August 13, 2000
WIN98 SE is only a service pack, with added CAB files and proprietary drivers. It serves ONE purpose, Microsofts ugly lust for more and more money. Since anything you add to your computer comes with newer drivers, and the attempts to patch WIN98 B have only injected more bugs into third party software it's a waste of money and time. Also NT will not support any added hardware but is safe from invasion, so 2000 was created for more versatility with that security. Home users do not want 2000, its security features are detrimental. I needed to correct the mis-info of some other posts.
 pretty good July 30, 2000
more features than 95, pretty good os.

Windows 98 Second Edition Upgrade is good for a few things but its not that much different than Windows 95. Mostly Windows 98 is more for home users, not business use in my opinion. I'd wait for Windows ME to come out than purchase Windows 98 Second Edition.

This package is another Microsoft cash grab. There was no need to release a whole new version, I'm sure all of the improvements could of been included on a patch which current Windows 98 users could download for free, but nope. If you are looking for a new operating system, I'd suggest buying Windows 2000 if you want the latest and greatest that they have to offer. This is just a waste of money.
Can You Say REBOOT? May 27, 2000

This is one very unstable operating system! I'm not speaking relatively here, I'm just telling you what I have experienced with Windows 98 Upgrade. First of all, one out of five times when my computer starts I have some kind of error message, often I must reboot. My computer freezes quite frequently as well, when I'm not even running programs. Restarting because of registry is something that happens a lot as well. Whenever I get an error and have to reboot the computer I hold my breath because I just don't know if I will get one of those fatal errors that causes the system to crash (which has happened three times!)After all is said and done, although I do not have it installed, I would go with the full version of Windows 98 SE or Windows 2000 Professional. MS is pretty much a monopoly so u don't have much of a choice, but u really should avoid the Windows 98 Upgrade!
