NME - winXP crashed every time I tried to access the LAN here so I wiped
it and installed w98se - no prob's


Probably because you have no clue what you're doing or your machine isn't
suited to it. That's about the most pathetic defence of Win98 I've ever
heard! Keep your bug-ridden out of date software, you'll be someone's
bitch
soon enough if you stay connected for long enough!

Im not a MS fan at all, but XP is rock solid compared to anything else
they've ever released. Any other opinion on this matter is based on
singular (and therefore irrelevant) "bad" experiences.

Allegedly the code base is very close to Win2K now - which is also pretty
solid.
