    It has been 7 years since Win98 was released

    Windows 98 Has A large User Base Meaning More People Use It

    I would be willing to argue this one... most companies are using 2000 or XP, and we all know companies make up the majority of PCs

    Windows 98 Can Run Better Than XP

    What are you basing this one? Windows XP is more stable, that's for sure, and if you are argueing this one then you may not have installed it properly.

    Windows XP Is Too Expensive

    OK, so you pay (at most) $200 for an OS that runs your PC for 5 years... you don't think that's worth it? My computer runs my life. I paid $1400 for my bed because it determines my whole day... I see my computer as the same.

    You Can Do Almost Everything on a 98 pc than on a xp pc

    Connect to a domain? No

    Remote Desktop? No

    A WHOLE list of things...

    Windows XP Has That Dreaded Product Activation where 98 does not have it

    Buy a legal copy...

    On Windows XP you need to have a virus Scanner on it,with 98 you don't

    You're insane. You should have a virus scanner on any Windows OS

    Windows 98 Has Far Less Bugs Than XP Does

    That's why Windows XP is more stable?

    i wasen't talking about companies i was meaning home users.

    you can run windows 98 very well just you need to tweak it to get a bit close to xp

    xp costs 500 bucks where i live and i never make more than 200 bucks a month,my bed is free,rent is not free,my pc runs my life too.

    Connect to a domain?  No

    Remote Desktop? No

    i wasen't meaning that,i meant for software related not those kind of features.

    Buy a legal copy...

    i already knew that,product activation is a pain and 98 doesen't have it

    You're insane.  You should have a virus scanner on any Windows OS

    well i've never been hit by viruses so 98 don't need it unles u get hit with viruses,the nt oses need antivirus

    That's why Windows XP is more stable?

    No,XP is based on the NT kernel and 98 is based on the dos kernel,it has been out longer than xp has.

    sides i know of some businesses that run 98,they could run xp but whats the point if 98 is working fine for them,they don't always need the newest and greatest thing if something a bit older will do just fine.
