Windows 98: To upgrade or not to upgrade? zdnet.com

In which the curiously unhypeful runup to the Win98 lauch is explained.

I think a reason to upgrade that's more compelling than all the gee-whiz DVD stuff is the fact that it fixes a lot of the original Win95 glitches," Enderle said. "By installing it, you will crash much less often, and it will run much faster."

This -- as even Microsoft officials admit -- is hardly the basis for a slam-dunk marketing campaign.

" 'Buy Windows 98 -- it sucks less!' is certainly not the ad slogan I'd want," Enderle said.


Oh, I don't know, I think it has possibilities. Think of the old Miller Lite commercials. "Sucks Less" / "New Features". Me, I'd certainly be on the "Sucks Less" side, if it's true.

Cheers, Dan.
