Windows XP Service Pack 2 + latest autopatcher, anytime.
Besides, Microsoft ends support for Windows 98 and Windows ME in June 2006.

win 98 for underdog pcs and xp for the rest

I hate 98 coz I must install drivers for everything in it (this thing cant even read a usb drive without drivers)

XP provides better security against threats.

U can use WIN 98 as open Home

microsoft has officially stopped support for windows 98 and all manufacturers are concentrating on xp. many drivers are not available for 98 any more. to gauge how old 98 is think microsoft has released 3 oses after it and now [hopefully] this year vista will be launched. bringing the count to four.
most games work without a hitch on xp. new games in fact dont run on 98. to top it all to find a new box of 98 would be near immpossible as it dosnt retail in stores any more.

well win XP is the best if u have 256mb or more ram...
but for below win98 is the best...

[ymhatre]

off corse XPPP

 

[satbir]

no doubt xp is the best......... but if u have an ancient computer........ or less ram(say 128 mb) then u can't think of installing xp......... i knw ppl who hav such systems and they can't really afford to install xp.......... for every1 else........... xp is the best

agree 98 is comfortable wit low end pcs...rest is for xp...it not only has advantage of detecting hardwares n installing them without a fuzz but it also makes full utilisation of ur agp card esp if itsa onboard agp....sp2 is kool....though u need to keep it updated....so cant leave it alone

cheers

 

[ashisharya]

Windows Xp bcz of its easy user interfrance, looks, have in-built softwares for hardwares.

 

[spikygv]

what + do i get with sp2

 

[speedyguy]

security...thats all i guess....but thats gud enuf reason to go for it....i got screwed wit sp1 as spywares n virus almost ate my pc like termites in wood...i had nottin left ....only option was to format...so esp if ur using internet....sp2 is must n trust me on that.

cheers

man, 98 is uncomparable to xp because

1. 98 loads slower than xp
2. xp's task manager is far away than the primitive 98
3. surf the net in xp and feel the difference
4. turn off all the beauty in xp and you'll see the juice that can be squeezed.
