Back to Win 98
I've just erased Win XP from a spare computer only to install Win 98SE.
WHY you may be asking?
Because I'm coming up time after time where I need to use old programs, and they won't work on the more sophisticated frame of XP.
Not only have I been having problems with old software (Which could have been solved in most cases by buying upgrades), but I have hardware that is no longer supported either, such as a scanner.
So, my advise for anyone with a network of computers who'se upgrading to XP (Or whatever may be the replacement in the future), leave 1 computer with the old operating system running.
Anyone else had these problems?

Yeah I've got ME on my laptop and am quite happy with that.
Losing consciousness,
in the arms of an angel,
I find only peace.
