Very true, but it will take years yet, longer than the keepage time of
the next computer. Why? 98SE has by far the most software available
for it of any OS on the planet, and by a long way. XP or more likely
its later variants will take the lead some day, but most of us want
software for 2006-2008, not 2012. By then we'll have another machine.
A 98 machine is more powerful in the sense that you can do much more
with it. Including reboot it more often
NT
Hi meow!
Memory protection going with NT based systems is very nice. If the
AmigaOS would not be better than Win9x/ME, I would use it, but the NT
memory protection gives space for longer sessions. Well, it is
dazzling, that's why it is a office-machine, but it is pretty fast with
today Pentium and Replikas far beyond 200MHz. For Standard work. I
still have some of my AMIGA stuff for a pleasant gaming session on the
TV-set.
My XP-Setup is paired with MS-DOS 6.22, which gives me the last
compatibility. Far below 1988 year Software ;-))). 8086, 8088 etc. No
Problem! And the i686 is doing more than satisfying with NT5.1, which
is also very compatible by DirectX Software. Beside, I use Win95 (other
machine) for older Windows Software (Soundblaster AWE32 is working best
with 3.1, 3.11 or 4.0 Windows Chicago, nice soundcard with its own
memory)
Personally I dislike Windows95, and especially Windows98, or 98 Second
Edition. Me is at least nice, but Win95 is the fastest of that
digital-junk.
Kind Regards,
