158533 2003-07-09 20:28:00 There is a bug with one of the updates which slows some machines to a crawl. It only affects some machines. There is a patch available from MS for it but you need to ask for it.

Do a search on their knowledge base and it should give you more information.

158535 2003-07-10 02:12:00 I run both 98Se and XP pro on 2 PCs I prefer 98Se personallly but XP is better for mult tasking and uses memory better.
cons are its a resource hog and uses lots of HDD space and needs a fast cpu over 450 MhZ to keep it happy also I dont like its intrusive embedded software that you cant uninstall
