Haven't had many bad experiences with Win98,
and now being serious, I do use XP and cygwin,
but still prefer Win98 performance cf. XP on same H/W
Its just a pitty I won't be able to keep the CYGWIN up to date on my WIN98

>> Its bad enough having to use windows, but having to upgrade to XP or 
>> VISTA
>> is just out of the question.
