***** Windows '98 Reviews *****

reviews the details of the upgrade from Win '95

It's More Reliable
If you're like many users, the real issue isn't pep; it's reliability.
You just want to run Win95 without crashing. In the three years
since its release, Win95 has endured multiple megabytes of
patches, fixes and upgrades that sometimes don't work when
you apply them in the wrong order. Once you start fresh with
a clean baseline version of Win98, many of those
DLL-version-war problems should disappear. And, judging
from our experience with the beta, you'll also find Win98 to be
more stable and less crash-prone than Win95.

But the real net gain is improved stability, an operating system
that works better out of the box with all kinds of hardware,
and a Windows that is much smarter about helping users
prevent and solve many common kinds of problems, including
setup obstacles, crash protection and startup problems. That's
topped off with an all new and far more efficient Setup routine
and Win98's ability to update itself online. Windows 98 is not
the reliability champion that Windows NT is, but it clearly bests
Windows 95 in that regard. And that's reason enough to
upgrade. The next most important feature is FAT32, which
could free up as much as 20 to 30 percent of the disk space on
your system.
