Wow I can't believe people are using W98.
I put that nightmare behind me long time ago.
No seriously W98 was the last unstable operating system.
W2000 and XP are just simply in a different league.
so...... snap out of it!
You will thank me later.

Win2000 SP4 here as well.. rock stable, does what I need, no bullshit eye-candy, no complaints.
XP can be good, but I hate the bloody mac-ripoff GUI. Screw that!

Get XP and then trim out all the unnecessary crap with XPlite. Kicks every other Windows distro in the nuts, and then laughs at them 
XPlite is at http://www.litepc.com/

it's ok...
just let go...
Win98 with 98Lite Micro install was the shit!
BUT...
if I managed to get XP to load in a whopping 34M of ram with full networking enabled (don't ask me how).. and have it undoubtedly more robust and stable than Win98... then I think it's time to...
just let go...

i want to leave 98 too, but my system is amd 450 256 ram, a very poor machine ..so i wanna take advantage of all resources to work whit audio, if i install xp ( and i don´t even know if i can), will i loose resources , memory or whatever ...? XP needs more of the machine than 98? a lot more ?..will my system get even slower if i install XP over 98?
thanks.
..well, im not a T user but i hope it supports w98..

T1 likes 98 just fine.
However, Tackywrapper does like 98 at all...
(I know you don't really care, Mod. Just thought I'd point this out!)
I actually just upgraded to XP recently myself, but not because of probs with 98. 98 was rock solid for me as a DAW. I simply wanted to use some tools that were XP only
Fortunately, the experience was uneventful.

To me, a Win98SE user,
I have avoided the following:
1. All of the crap about the security issues with XP - the hackers seem to want to poke holes in XP and have forgotten about humble little 98, still being used by millions.
2. I refuse to spend $100 on XP, when all it takes is about $399 to buy a new machine from Dell, with XP already loaded. I would almost assuredly need to buy more RAM for my current Win98SE box in order to run XP AND anything else. So now, upgrading to XP looks like a $150 charge at least, instead of just the $100 XP upgrade.
So, if T2 requires XP, then my upgrade price just went up about at minimum $150, upgrade price to T2 notwithstanding.
Here's one vote for Win98 support - or I guess it's just time to pay the piper and buy a new PC.

www.zipzoomfly.com - they'll sell you oem versions of Win2K and XP if you buy it with hardware (a $2 cd audio cable will do).
About half the price of the retail versions.

Valley,
It's $89 at the website you mentioned. Add on a minimum of $50 for another 256 MB of memory which I'm told is necessary to make XP work happy with RAM hungry apps like sfz, and it's still looking like a $150 charge with shipping charges included.
