For the most part, you can
1) Update Win98 to Win98 using the service pack upgrades at
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
2) Update it using the CD-ROM disc they sell at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/default.asp
3) Buy it in the stores or at a local computer dealer (www.microtimes.com
dealers in S.Calif. sell them by the truckload as do ebay.com and other online
stores listed in www.shopper.com)
In short, for 99% of the features found in Win98SE, you can simply download
it using Windows Update and be done with it. There might be a few itsy bitsy
differences, but mostly non-issues for 99% of the users out there. One for
example is the proper operation of ICM (Image color matching) under Win98SE
according to Photoshop users. Beyond that, there really isn't anything you'd
have to worry about since the majority of the downloads only update the big
components of Win98 (IE, Outlook, etc.), and the usual security patches and bug
fixes that even Win98 has a truck load of to download.
Naturally, the security problems are mostly moot points once you've ripped
out IE using 98Lite.net's program and stuck in Netscape (while it does have
problems, it isn't as bad as one can see by the numerous IE updates out vs. the
minor Netscape updates).
