Microsoft Windows 98 SE Complete package

...have some little things that Microsoft had never ironed out, like windows xp for example, full of bugs it is. Windows 98 can be brought, on more modern media, such as the cd or can be brought on the floppy disk, I know its amazing, who would really sit there and slot all the disks in, on by one. It is still priced at around £49.99, in some online shops. When I first received my cd, this is years back but I can remember perfectly from installing ...
...into the drive, lalala, working fine as usual, scandisk, and registry check and so on and so forth. The main setup process, considering how big the operating system actually is, (around 300-600mb for a normal installation, depending on the options that you choose), the install process takes around 45-55 minutes on most normal computers. The quickest that I managed to install windows 98 was only twenty minutes. First it asks for some info, such ...

Review of Microsoft Windows 98 SE Complete package

well microsoft windows 98 second edition has apparently become the standard by which all others are judged and still remains the favourite of many enthusiasts despite its unstability. it is really just windows 95 upgraded, then upgraded again and some would say that it has just gone a little to far and that the optimum operating system is windows 95 configured manually with just a few components of 98se added. but most would not go to that trouble ...
...I have stuck with w98se because some of my programs will not work with anything else and others would need updating. until recently I was multibooting to 4 operating systems but now I keep windows 98se as my main operating system on my main hard drive. this is a fast operating system for gaming though as I say is rather unstable. mostly I think the brigade that are sticking with it (and there are many) have now achieved some sort of backup system ...

Review of Microsoft Windows 98 SE Complete package

Years and years have past since the launch of Windows 98. At the time is was great; it was fast, 'good looks', easy to use, but time has changed since then, with the launch of Windows 2000 (ME) and, now, Windows XP. Prehaps the only reason you may choose to put Windows 98 onto your computer nowadays is either if you want a computer to run fast, or you can't be bothered to go out and buy a copy of XP for around £80. As I have just mentioned, 98 ...
...computer with 98 on if it is too old, as Windows XP would take too long to load. Windows XP has many new features compared to 98, such as a completely new look, different files can run on it, and with SP2, it comes with a built in firewall, virus protection and automatic updates. I strongly advise against buying a copy of Windows 98; if you want a Windows computer use XP, or a fast computer use Linux, as this is a very fast platform. You will get ...

Review of Microsoft Windows 98 SE Complete package

This operating system is the best system, in my opinion, to use. It is simple and effective, it won't crash too many programs and most importantly it works. Sticking with what you know may be stubborn, but sticking with Windows 98 SE is the best choice I have ever made. Upgrading to XP etc is a hard task and problematic, also some of the hardware within my system is not compatible with XP. Windows 98 is a basic operating system and has a lot of ...
...so long. This is a bonus obviously! Windows 98 is recommended over newer systems also as it is a more basic system. It takes up less space, a minimum of 600MB or something. It is highly compatible with programs, as XP is just a glammed up version of 98. Also the important difference between 98 and 98 SE is that 98 SE has most of the updates that you would usually need for 98. I like... Everything (I have been using it since it was released) ...
