It's not a dead-end OS, because you will be able to upgrade to the next OS just as easily (or as hard) as you can upgrade between Win95 and Win98!

WC,

The only W9x left would be W99, and that would be too soon! I'm sure that MSFT wants to get away from a 'dated' produce (W95, W98) and move to a 'foggier' title like NTx! ( You will always wonder if you have the latest upgrade, you know Pack 1 or 2, et al!)

JMHO

Regards,

Ken

Walt,

Keep in mind that a large percentage of the code used for Win98 came from Win Nt 5.0 so it could explain why they went ahead with Win98 anyway. The Win9X line of products will disappear but MS will introduce a "consumer" version of Win NT which is where the Win9X family of products was heading anyway.

So it's not really a dead end. MS just wants to bring everyone on a product called Win NT.
