Win98, And Win98se

[Ma5t3rM1nD]

Well I have tryed Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows XP Professional. Even though the topic ain't really about this but I would have to say with at least 256mb+ RAM Windows XP is the best Windows OS. But out of Windows 98 and SE I would say I didn't notice a huge difference and I can't pick between the too.

Can't comment on 98 vs 98se. But I gotta throw my 2 cents in & say XP Pro is at least 50% faster & 5x more stable than 98se.

I wanna install Windows 98 again, but am considering Windows 98 Second Edition. But what are the differences? It seems like the same thing....

hey dude what does the term SE says second edition so second edition must be better than the first so go to win98se i use se only

But this site reviewed Win98SE and says it's practically the same thing.

That's a load of bull. 98 SE is faster, more stable, and a lot more compatible with the latest programs than the original Windows 98 was.

I was begining to think that too....

Another thing about plain ol 98 is that you can&#39;t upgrade to XP from it...it&#39;s gotta be 98se.
It took me forever to find a good copy of 98se, but I finally did. Soon I&#39;m gonna reformat and
have multi-boot: DOS 6.22 / Win98se / WinXP Pro

98SE also supports DVD Rom drives, has Internet Connection Sharing, improved USB support & power managment features.
Plain old 98(FE?) doesn&#39;t have these.

Are you positive about that? I&#39;ve heard that before, but according to Microsoft you don&#39;t need SE...

I need to know because I have plain old 98, but I want to get XP. And if there&#39;s any truth to that guy&#39;s article (above), then I pretty much have SE, because I installed SP1, IE6 and every update patch that ever came out. Can anyone tell me something that SE has that my version doesn&#39;t?

I may have been wrong about that, seems so.. :">

I couldn&#39;t agree more, I hate everything before ME but 98SE is definetly the one to go for over 98.
