   |  The big question - should I switch from 98SE to XP Pro? I need to know wether to switch...Ive heard great things about XP Pro, but Ive used 98SE since it came out and I love it...All my programs are for 98, and Im used to every function...should I switch? Will I be happier in the end with XP Pro or 98SE? |

Myystical1 , you will be mystified beyond your wildest dreams with XP home or pro, ( go for home its cheaper and does same thing) There is no comparison and besides didnt MS stop support on that antiquated broken down 0s ??? Now I will sit back and read what 99% of the people here will have to say bout XP, nuttin but g00dness.

| I was in the same boat.....Win 98 worked and if it aint broke dont fix it. I however switched and after a while have grown to love it. Now if I have to work on a Win 98 PC all I do is cuss the POS operating system. I do alot of Windows XP installs and you can buy just the Certificate of Authenticity of Pricewatch for right around $50 - if you know someone who has an installation CD.

 | Even the military has moved on. I know the Army just sent a directive that any ME or earlier OS's need to get off military networks ASAP due to security risks.

| Yes. Switch now. Don't wait. I've had XP since the day it came out (first time I did that with an OS) and I was not in the least bit sorry.
