I have yet to see Win98 Offer me something that Win 95 does not.
98 == Overworked huge patch to Windows 95.
I have yet to see a Windows box running slower than 700mhz take
my win95 box running @ 233mhz. [boot up times, not photoshop times :) ]
btw. What is Win98Lite ?
Links or Copy and paste would be nice.

. . . .|BF> something will be done someday), but it does it "nicely" I guess. It's

trying to
. . . .|BF> start a flame war here, but I think you're web page title was rather
flawed.
. . . .|BF> Outside of lynx, IE is unfortunately the best browser I've encountered,
and
. . . .|BF> I've had far less issues with it than NS or Mozilla. Likewise, I think
this
. . . .|BF> shell issue has to do with MS binding IE to the OS, which I do not
agree
