Amazon.com Review
Microsoft Windows 98 has quickly become the standard operating system for the vast majority of (non-Macintosh) personal computer owners. If you're thinking about upgrading from Windows 95, or adding Windows 98 on to a multi-OS platform, you'll get a comfortable, fairly intuitive graphical user interface, with point-and-click simplicity. The biggest (and most controversial) feature of Windows 98 is its deep Internet integration. The Internet Explorer browser bundled with Windows 98 pops up constantly, inviting you to connect to the Internet and surf the Web quickly and easily. All the plug-ins you need are supported, and for folks who don't want a high level of under-the-hood control of their OS and Internet software, the stability of the combo can't be beat. In fact, diehard Netscape users often don't uninstall Internet Explorer from Windows 98 because the program is so deeply integrated in the OS. Windows 98 has all the features of Windows 95, but some have been retooled, renamed, and spruced up. Perhaps the nicest improvement about Windows 98, though, is its use of a better file allocation system, enabling much more efficient use of hard drive space. Windows 98 supports the most widely used software programs, peripherals, and hardware, and it comes standard on most new PCs in the United States.

 Complaint November 3, 2008
I have not received the product. I have sent a couple of e-mail inquires to the seller but I have not received a response. I am very concerned because in addition to paying for the product I also provided the seller with my debit card number.

 Great Version October 31, 2008
Stable for general use and dual booting a PC, if you need to run programs that need DOS but also want Windows, try this.
WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION October 30, 2008
GREAT PRODUCT, THIS SAVED ME FROM GETTING RID OF AN OLD MACHINE.
THANKS A LOT.
Needed for XP upgrade October 8, 2008
Be aware that if you ever wish to try out Linux, or if Windows XP is no longer recognized, your Windows XP upgrade will not work. So do you go out and buy the full version? Well, I am not in favor of paying Bill (Gates) three times for the same thing. So I bought a second hand Windows 98 Second Edition. I Installed 98. I was then able to install my XP upgrade. Well, actually you don't need to install 98. You can boot off the XP disk, and when it asks you, swap it with your 98 disk, to verify your upgrade. Swap back the XP disk and it will install.

Not bad. Windows 98 will work on most modern Intel computers. It can run both the old and new applications for the most part. Go to CNET.com if you have driver issues.
