Converting from 98SE to 2000 and Back

[Guest]

Help! Since Microsoft isn't really supporting Windows 98(SE) this is an important (critical) question. I need to convert data from 98SE to 2000 and back again. Can I still do this? I need an immediate if not sooner answer to this question. Thanks to anyone who can help!

What data ?

Data is NOT OS dependant, it is application dependant. Therefore Excel 2000 on a Win98
platform will work in Excell 2000 on WinXP or Win2K.

In addition:
If you post to UseNet with your TRUE, not a munged, email address then you have now invited
the Swen worm to visit you.

The Swen is news spelled backwards. The reason it is called this is because the Swen worm
harvests email addresses from UseNet News Groups. It has an engine that allows it to post
itself to UseNet News Groups and well as it has its own email engine. From the list of
email addresses that it has harvested, it will then email itself to those addresses.

Upgrading from Win98 to Win2000 is possible but not recommended.
Downgrading from Win2000 to Win98 is not possible.

Either way, you don't "convert data"; you upgrade the operating system. Your
data will be readable under either operating system.
