Hello, I do happen to like win98 & winxp, however, on this computer a 1ghz P-III cpu 512meg ram rig, 98 is very fast and suits my needs very well. Ialso have a newer p-4 2.8ghz also running win98 and for video editing and music work as well, windows 98se does quite well, thank you. Some people have said that you can't run usb 2.0 on 98 err yes you can some motherboards come with the drivers. And of course there is windows xp on the rest of our computers.
