Dell PC's work great in Windows 98. I have a Pentium II desktop Dell and a Latitude notebook. The upgrade process went as smooth as silk. Dell's kick ass! Long live Dell, babie!

Ref:Win 98 & Compaq Presarios, guess what? Jack: Thanks for the info on this,it sure doesn't bode well for CPQ nor MSFT. Lot of Presario owners will be pissed and may decide to buy new computers with WIN 98 and guess what,I don't think they will be rushing to buy another CPQ! Just a thought.

Jack - See exchange2000.com Given the huge Presario base and the small number of people who might have tried the upgrade, this is anecdotal evidence. Given CPQ's extensive testing on presarios dating back 2 1/2 years, I doubt that this is a real problem.

Windows 98 Just installed on Network, works great!! Installed Win98 on the Network Thursday. Went on without a hitch! Have several Dells, they didn't even hiccup! Interestingly, the newest Dell we have 4 weeks old! Already had a hybrid 98 OS. Hmmm, how they do that???? My complements to the Microsoft boys! Now it's been my experience that when starting with decent equipment you get a decent outcome when loading a new OS whether its UNIX or Microsoft. Pella Windows don't install well on "Manufactured Homes" (Trailers). For those who like to sit around the trailer in their boxer shorts scratching their bellies with their 78 Camero parked outside while playing a casino game on their new sub $1000.00 class machine, I don't recommend Win98. Render unto Dell what is Dell's Render unto "Trailer Trash" what is trailer trash. If anyone truly thinks any of us in the industry who USE computers for data handling will jump on the "Trailer Trash Band Wagon" your sadly mistaken. We're not putting our data on a $75.00 Hard Drive or transmit data on a $25.00 modems. And some of you people wonder why these things don't work! Ergo that's why we either build our own or buy Dells.
