I converted my home computer back in June from Win98SE to WinXP. I didn't
have any problems with how the computer ran because it ran fine, but I
wanted to load the new software for my digital camera and it only supported
XP. There are a few things on XP that I like better, but overall it is
slower than 98, and I had to add some memory to my computer to run it.
I converted my wife's home computer over to XP a couple of months ago. It
ran fine on 98, in fact it is an old one that my company ran AutoCAD on for
4 years before it was replaced and I brought it home. Same story though, I
had to add memory before XP was happy.
I think it is ironic that we have a car list devoted to cars that might be
40 years old and people are saying "buy a new computer". We could just as
easily say "buy a new car".
