I am sorry SJ, but isn't moving from ME to 98 a down grade? ME was released in 2000, 98 was released in well, 98.

No, because ME was released as a TRAP by M$, to get people to look at XP more positively by comparison. Win 98 is massively better than ME. I think Win 2K Pro (behind a Linux firewall) is currently the best version of Windohs, because it's stable, works, and doesn't have so much annoying crap like M$ authentication, and it wastes fewer system resources. The only negative feature I'm aware of is Remote Desktop isn't as good, but if you don't use that... I say upgrade to Win 2K Pro!

Vista is:

1. Overpriced

2. High requirements

3. Incomplete and the initial version will be buggy.

4. Vista does have some nice features but none are that "so outstanding, I got to have right now".

Pass on Vista for quite a while. XP pro works fine.
