W2K upgrade or new install?

[richard]

I have W98 on my PC and want to convert to W2K. Would I
be better off doing a complete new install (and uninstall
W98), or purchase the upgrade? There isn't much
difference on the pricing. What are pros and cons?
Thanks.

If price is of no issue, then get the full version (not upgrade).
Main reason is that performing an in-place upgrade will leave
"stuff" behind whereas a new install gives you the cleanest
starting point. There can be other considerations such as
having applications already installed that you do not/can not
reinstall. But if you have the option, new install is the best way
to go.
