Don't upgrade to ME, its a terrible version of Windows. Win98 is far better...

OH....I know it is a dumb thing to do.....just the reason I want to try it.....I want to see if it's as bad as I remember it.....

Also have 2000Pro but it is so closely related to XP it wouldn't be much fun to punish myself with it.

But I DO agree with you about ME. ;)

Win me has a system resource bug, i . e . it does not know how to free up system resources & you will have to reboot it more often then 98 SE (I know I use to like win me, now I like xp :))

PS: try Win 2000 as well :)

Try it & you will see it not really that closely related to XP (But I could be wrong, as I have never really used 2000 pro.)

Definitely do it,
then you can install Virtual PC in your virtual windows 2000
and then install something in that (try 98)
then install QEMU into windows 98
and then put Damn small linux in Qemu,
and do your websurfing in damn small linux,and your computer will be 100% safe (at the speed it will be operating any virusses will die of old age before they can effect your machine

and if you get really bored you could probably install qemu in damn small linux and run Dos 6 with windows 3.11 on it

That should you keep you out of mischief for a while :thumbs:

Sadly enough I was at one stage running a virtual PC ina Virtual PC using vmware and Qemu (or perhaps Vmware and vware or Qemu and qemu),
there is a version of damn small linux that come already installed in qemu, so you just download the whole damn thing and run it and you have linux running on your windows desktop

471088 2006-07-20 05:43:00 What are peoples opinions on Qemu vs VMWare vs MS Virtual PC vs Whatever else? mejobloggs (264)
471089 2006-07-20 07:03:00 Well Im finished my testing and now I have a dual boot virtual pc (xpro/red hat 8)
why would you want to do this, well all Ill say is I won the bet :lol:

Ive used both vmware workstation and now the microsoft virtual machine and im not willing to rate one above the other I like them both
