WHAT HAVE I STARTED HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have looked in to the SE debate a bit more over the weekend and have come up with the following.

I admit it is a little bit more stable on lower end systems than the original 98, but not enough to warrant the price of the upgrade. It is a lot less stable on my PIII 500 which is 100% stable under all other variations of windows including NT with any of the service packs.

The Internet Connection Sharing is still a mystery as all the systems that I have tried to get it working on, it will still not let me dial out on the server let alone connect over the network. I have not though had the NDIS.VXD error which someone else has pointed out. The systems have ranged from Intel P166MMX systems all the way through to my own PIII 500.

It seems like games only run correctly after installation , like stated by someone , if Direct Play 6.1a is installed. This seems quite likely anyway as most games now need the DirectPlay 6.1a extensions anyway so this is excused.

Peer-2-Peer Networking seems to be as unreliable as Win 98 standard is . So no change here

From what I can see is the only good points for people who already own Win98 original is that it detects the CPU type correctly ( no more celerons being passed off as PII's )and the inclusion of the updates.

If you already own Win98 original then I see no real point in upgrading as there is nothing there that warrants the price of the upgrade.
