Win 98 (Eric, is this off topic :)?)

Cassandra wanted to know

<Is it worth it with the new Windows 2000 coming out soon?  What type of
bugs
have you encountered?  >

I recently (11/98) upgraded, and have had no problems so far. There are (of
course) advantages and disadvantages, but I personally think it's worth it.

Pros:
    A smoother interface
    Fewer crashes (But not none!)
    Easier upgrades / better peripherial support (TRUE plug and play)
    Nifty stuff like desktop themes and various other "Stuff"
        (Be sure to check out the "Tweak" program that comes with it)

Cons:
    A memory hog
    A HD space hog    I would probably advise against if you're
                                running it on a computer with less than 64Mb
RAM and a 4Gb HD.
    Outlook98 (the new e-mail tool), is a little odd. (Not enough
customization choices)

<Here's the TW part>
All of the tools you are currently using should continue functioning as they
have. Taking files home and back will continue to be a pain ! There aren't
any compatability issues between Win 95 and 98. Or I should say "That I am
aware of." (Of which I am aware?)

The cost seems reasonable, and I'm glad I did it. As for Win 2000, I haven't
heard much. Anyone?
