unless you are running marginal hardware, ie: less than P1-100, win98SE
should be a better choice among the evils out there.

win98 first edition, was notoriously unstable, a lot more than win95b.
win98 Second Edition was generally very good (as far as windows goes).

if you need firewire, try it with win98se.
can't say as i recommend ME or W2K or even XP.
either home or pro editions on xp or w2k.
although i would pick xp over w2k given those as the only choices.
my experience with w2k was not favorable - read that: A BIG PIECE OF S&^%T!!
the only problem i have with xp (other than it's winblows) is that it doesn't
support old hardware as the drivers are different (again).

anyways, my two cents worth.
