FYI

According to the lastest PC Magazine, W98 does little or nothing
except for the fat32, and even then does not enhance speed.
The article also gives a short list of popular soft and hardware
that fat32 renders unusable.

You fail to mention that most all those software packages have new releases
which make them FAt32 compatible.  FAT32 is the way to go.  I have been
using it exclusively on all 4 of my 95 PC's for 1.5 years.  no problems at
all....


Along with that is a graph showing that the 98 upgrade to 95
uses almost 20% more disk space, where the full version of 98
on a formatted HDD uses the same space as 95.


Its because of all the crap it leaves lying around.  Bottom line.  Best way
to upgrade is to format and start clean...
