I urged all my clients to skip Win98 and move directly from Win95 or Win3.x to NT 4. A few of my clients didn't take my advice, and they've regretted it in the long run. I've never liked WinXP on a number of levels and have "downgraded" a number of clients from WinXP back to Win2K after they complained about how much they disliked WinXP. However, since WinXP SP2, things seem to be better, and I've also learned to adapt my administrative approach to the weaknesses of WinXP, so now it's working pretty well for my clients. In a corporate environment, it always worked pretty well (because in a domain controller environment the default is for no one to have anything but user-level logons, which fixes a number of the problems with WinXP). But I still don't like WinXP. But I liked Win98 less, and would say that WinXP would be a vast improvement over it. -- David W.
