That's sad. After recently changing from Win95 to Win98
I have found that many programs now run much slower with
significant increases in hard drive "crunch and grind".

I assume this is because windows 98 requires more ram and
swaps larger amounts of data during the same standard
functions. Now i'm searching for my win95 disk so I can
return my PC's back to their *much faster* previous state.
I can't find one thing that is better about 98 compared
to 95, apart from a few small cosmetic improvements.

Having spent a few days on the holidays playing with a
friends new PC running windows XP, again it is noticeably
slower than my win98 system, even though it has more ram
and a faster processor.

I wish software developers wouldn't just bow down to the
wishes of M$, there ARE advantages to using older operating
systems and people who *choose* to use them should be
respected even if they are "unfashionable". :o(
