I'll jump on the "defend HP" bandwagon and say that my 5 year old HP, with a Radeon 7200, runs SFC3 quite well. I will be getting a new computer by the end of this year, or early in the next, and I'm leaning toward another HP, since the one that I have has run like a champion. I'll also miss Win98, but MS is dropping support for it as we speak, so I have few options.

When is "Uncle Bill" going to do this? I currently run 98se... I keep hearing too many horror stories about XP. Did they get rid of the calling MS for a new serial number? It's none of MS business if I muck around in my pc... Jeeze...

i've had to call MS twice for new serial numbers... not even a small deal was made about it...

Yes, it's true. It's called "Product Life Cycle" by the boys in Washington state. If you don't believe me, then ask yourself a few simple questions
1. Why are the most recent drivers for (insert name of product here) not WHQL cerified for Win98?
2. Why can't I install MediaPlayer 9 on 98, but can on 98SE and every OS thereafter?
3. Whatever became of support, patches, fixes, and other downloads for 95?
4. Hey, wait a second, wasn't 95 released only three years before 98?
5. If they stopped supporting 95 two years ago, or so, does that mean that the bell now tolling tolls for 98?
6. Extrapolating from the above, if 98SE was released about a year after 98, then where does that leave me, the 98SE user?
I hope that I didn't rain on your parade too much, but the sad fact is that Bill and Co. don't make any more money off of those of us using a five-year old OS.

Perhaps if they contiinued to sell them they would make some money of them. I know at least 2 people who want to buy w98.

I've talked to a few people who tried XP and 2000 and went back to 98SE.

They claim that every OS that MS has released since 98SE was worse than the one before it.

Since my only OS experience is with win95,98 and 98SE and have no clue if they know what they are talking about or not.

I think XP is far better than 98SE but then I have an AthlonXP processor and they were designed for compatability

WDLL · « **Reply #70 on:** June 28, 2003, 04:44:44 am »

I am using XP with two different systems (one with athlon tbird 1.1 and the other pentium IVm) and there is no way I would go back to a previous version of windows. XP is IMO by far the best version of windows so far. Still, I prefer GEM and TOS. :-)

I use winodws XP on a AMD Duron and have3 not had any problems.
I had Win 98SE on the seam system and had nothing but problems.
One thing I Have found is that if you use it with the Fat32 file system you will have problems. If you use the NTFS file system you do not have problems. I think it is the Fat 32 FIle system that MS can not get right.

What would be nice additions

1. An armor indicator - can use the current hull indicator but draw a line (alpha 1.0) over it in a different color (like yellow). As your armor was depleted the blue of the hull would appear beneath. I do not know if I am explaining this very well. You could also just have another line.
2. Hot keys for operating your tractor.
3. Official hot keys for preset power settings. Really would be nice when playing Romulan.
4. Better bandwidth utilization

How about a toggle to take your sheilds down, Taldren seems to have made it where the sheilds will recharge faster when they are offline, like was demonstrated in Equinox Part 1. I would rather expose my hull for 20-30 seconds of minor fire to get my sehilds back up to around 30-50% rather than let the enemy pummel them down and keep them in that state where they dont add up to much at all.
