win 98 is meant for the home user who just wants to surf porn and play solitaire.. 2k is for the office user who wants the serve porn and make solitaire so dont compare it directly to 98, especially as its 2 years older, if you wanna compare 2k to a desktop windows then do it to ME which in my experience is fine, i used it for over a year before switching to XP which again is fine ;D

though this box is only for surfing, chattin, gaming and light programming
