What is the best way to batch convert multiple HTML files to DOCX? I understand the batch conversion wizard was removed from Word 2007, the version I have. I also have OpenOffice and LibreOffice.

Are you sure Lunascape doesn't have Trident 7? Lunascape appears to run on Vista.

I'm trying to access Business Objects XI for my work on my Vista laptop. It says it requries Internet Explorer 11 but the last version that worked on Vista was Internet Explorer 9. Is there a workaround to get IE11 running on Vista? Or are there any other browsers using the Trident 7 layout engine that might support running Business Objects on a Vista machine? Lunascape, Avant, Maxthon or Sleipnir? Which would be best? I've heard Maxthon has funny ideas about user privacy.

When its public domain, can I decompile it without risk of prosecution?

Unfortunately M$ has done everything to forget about w98 and make you forget about it.
They eradicated w98 in all ways possible, down to erasing its name from the popular memory.
For them the history of Windows starts with windows 2000.
Running w98 is an abomination for them and many poeple. they may not understand well why you still want it.
But in our mind, the more Windows evoluates, the more you will want w98.
In 87 years, w98 source code will be public domain. Then there will be hope to update it... LOL.
Doesn't this require Microsoft to release the source code? Or has it ever been leaked?

Any chance of an official re-release from Microsoft of Windows 98 with modern hardware support?

Yeah, I'm mainly using it as a web browser with flash. I used Linux for a while - but recently set up WPA2 and various distros stopped connecting (could be the T41 internal wifi). Apart from that, I hate activation, bloat, real-time virus scanners and the upgrade cycle, I like Office 2K/OpenOffice (hate Office 2007 etc.) and it would be nice to play a few games from the 90s and I always found WINE and Dosbox a lot of hassle when games just black out. I like multi-user. I don't think I can be bothered with dual boot.

I have quite a fondness for 98 and am reinstalling an old computer Thinkpad T41, but why should I use 98 over XP? I'm thinking of getting XP SP3. What are the advantages of 9x or 2000?

Very interesting thread, might try disabling javascript. But if you want a operating system for pentium IV era that supports OOBE
- >512Mb RAM
- >2Ghz CPU
- >64Gb+ HDD
- Supports wifi etc.
- Installs to RAM
- Next to no virus attacks
then check out Puppy Linux 2 or 3 series. I did a little table here.

In my corporate environment, the newest thing we are rolling out is Windows 98SE and NT4 for servers. We find it much better for securing data than XP, Vista, 7 etc.

Just stating the obvious, BSD and Linux are completely different. The only similarity might be licensing.
The point about the vulnerability of open-source software to bugs is the same.
Thats true, however it was sort of a red herring.
As deliberate distractions go, I'd say the news of an 8 year-old bug discovered in the Linux kernel was more of a red herring to distract from Linus' Law.

The question really is "do many eyes make all bugs shallow?" - or why would closed source make bugs more identifiable? Does Linus' Law still stand or has it been undermined? "It just does, look at these statistics" isn't a good enough answer given the manipulability of selective statistics. It would be interesting to see if open-source OpenBSD suffers a comparable level of bugs?

How do I make a 15x15 Excel spreadsheet?

A lot of Win98 users seem concerned about security backdoors, speed of their OS or their budget. I think these users will simply migrate to ReactOS. I hope the die-hards start hacking ReactOS and contributing their extensive knowledge of Windows too.

How do I create a report with multiple records on one row in the detail section? Like in a database of addresses to create a report with a detail section;
Downing Street
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
instead of
Downing Street
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
I suppose you might call it a rowular report (as oppose to a columnular report).

Is it possible to build a geo-database of photos with access? Also what would be the best way to store some with the same name?

At my network in work, when you close the PC down it says it is synchronizing. Also when you log in on another PC sometimes your desktop lacks your icons. Do you think they have set it up wrongly? There is a personal drive (G:) on the server and a shared drive (H:). But the user profile seems to be stored in C:.

Sorry I used to convert SHTML to PDF, but I think it does DOC too.
