i´m using 98se now for ???how long, i think about two years and i really like it. if i´ll upgrade (everybody has to upgrade anything sometimes ;D) i´ll wait. in my opinion, win XP shurely will get better during the next months.but i´m still not gonna use it until it has a status in our community like 98se now, so i´ll stick to 98se for the next 4 to 5 months i think
