I have been running MetaStock on a FAT32 drive
for months, without problems. The FAT32 originally
came out on Win95 OSR2's, which was provided on
new computers from OEM's (like Gateway, Dell).
FAT32 does appear to be one of the few things that
Win98 improves over plain Win95. Since I already
have FAT32, and since just about everyone I know has
had big problems with Win98 installations, I'll be waiting
until the next service pack is released.
By the way, I was one of the early buyers of Win95
because of all the advantages (I am usually considered
a pioneer -- with the arrows-in-the-back to prove it). But,
not this time.
