Windows 98 = Windows 95.1 infoworld.com This is another commentary on Win98 features and pricing, it's a little less cranky than the John Dvorak column I noted in 18794 here (https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=4241504) but pretty much in agreement. Conclusion: Ultimately, though, I'm left feeling that while Windows 98 is clearly an improvement over Windows 95, it doesn't come close to justifying its $109 upgrade price tag -- except perhaps for Windows 3.1 users, who will see enormous benefits. For Windows 95 installations, however, this looks and feels like a $29-$39 .1 upgrade. Anything more than that, in my opinion, is just more grist for the U.S. Justice Department's investigation into Microsoft's monopolistic practices. Cheers, Dan.
