I could be wrong but I think Microsoft is going to have a hard time selling Windows 98, or at least there is no immediate compelling reason to upgrade (except if you want everything on 1 CD) or you are for some reason still using Windows 3.1

Windows 98 = Windows 95 + various patches + IE 4.0 (taking over your desktop, yuck!) + add-ons (like SEVL's which you can download for free).

Now if Windows 98 could read NTFS partitions, that alone would be compelling as I dual-boot between Windows 95 and Windows NT (but noooooooo......Windows 98 uses FAT-32, which NT 5.0 may be able to read)
