Win 95->Win 98,why??

Mohan, why should a Windows 95 user upgrade to Windows 98?

I don't know Pat,I will let you know when I get mine in June.<gg>
Besides I wasn't talking about upgrading from Win 95->Win 98 but from Win 3.1 to Win 98 and the potential increase in PC sales due to this plausible phenomenon, I think that was what I said,no?

Now in all seriousness, I am sure Win 98 will have more capabilities than Win 95,I don't know all the details yet but I am sure between now and then we might be able to see some reports on it in all the PC Magz. Or even better, some techies here might be able to educate us better on it, I hope.

PEM,

A couple of reasons that I can see so far!

1) Large disk volumes. (Large capacity disks can be one volume instead of partitioned.)

2) Allocated GRAN size is reduced to 512 bytes until around 4G (I think)

3) More integration into a 'seemless' desktop!

Pretty neat stuff really!

Regards,

Ken
