Jef, Windows 98 is one of the things that I am waiting for before I buy a new computer, but I am not typical. I just prefer a clean install rather than an upgrade. I also am waiting for the death of the ISA bus and the maturity of AGP graphics. Phil

Jef, I don't think so. There was a lengthy article in the NY Times on Thursday talking about Windows 98. According to the article, it appeared to be mainly a maintenance upgrade. They claimed that a lot of the upgrades have been available free from Microsoft for some time. The story went on to say that Win 98 is not expected to be a major money maker for Microsoft, and relatively few current users are expected to upgrade as compared to the upgrade cycle from Windows 3.1x to Windows 95. I think that Window NT 5.0 will be a different story. TTFN, CTC
