I still use Win-98se a lot.
One system I dual boot with XP and another system I never bothered to change because it runs fine and really don't have anything to gain by installing XP for what it's used for.

I live here with some different computers running, most of them on a daily basis. They are mixed m$- and linuxboxes and my favorite computer is old and slow and runs win98 (well, it's an old laptop).
There are a lot of computers out there that aren't able to run NT-based os's.

I still use Win98SE somewhat it is very stripped down.
The only software that is installed is PartitionMagic and
DriveImage.

I mostly only use it to do backups and Dos.

Still use 98SE on some systems (I.E has been removed using "IEradicator" in all cases, which makes 98SE just about as stable as XP!!).

Some games will not work under XP, even using the "compatibility mode" but work great on SE.

Also, I have mucho software for burning CD's and don't want to switch over to XP because of the lack of system level drivers I need.

And, have tons of development "play toys" that I've used forever under the 9X versions and am to lazy to switch all that over to XP.

So- what do I use the XP systems for? Mostly to play DVD's and view home and commercial movies (that I've produced using 98SE). Can't really see much of a reason to get excited about XP yet.

I suppose if I was a typical M$ "junkie" that used I.E., Outlook Express and all the other bug ridden M$ software I'd have a different point of view. But - I've been developing software at the system level (machine language mainly) since 1973 - with the original Intel 8008, no less - and have a respect for good software.

Not that I'd catagorize 98SE as "good" software - it's just handy and convenient at times.

Yes I do to!

I still have some Windows95 and a Windows98 machines. Mostly because these system aren't fast egnough for newer OS'ses, but also to test some things now and then.

A lot of friends/customers are still using 9x machines, so I need to have them at hand. And sure, WinXP/Win2K are better, but I still love Windows95. I can still remeber the shock it gave me when I first started using 95 after years of 3.x!
