Always a love-hate relationship

Submitted by Rick on March 26, 2007 - 7:31pm.
  • Riding Shotgun with Rick

Lately, I have been working with many Windows 98 and Me computers (and a few Windows 95). For basic functions, limited Internet browsing, solitaire, email, and word processing, these computers work fine especially with a high speed Internet connection. However, it is imperative that Windows 98 and Me users NOT install any software that was developed after 2003. Your hardware and software configuration may appear to meet the minimum requirements of the software, but let me assure you that the product will not work optimally and your system will slow down considerably.

This especially applies to security software. For Windows 98 and Me users: ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NEVER INSTALL NEW VERSIONS OF NORTON OR MCAFEE SECURITY PRODUCTS.

The love-hate relationship I spoke of is how fast a properly configured Windows 98 machine runs (love the speed), but the amount or restarts the system requires compared to Windows XP is overwhelming when removing or adding new software (hate the inconvenience).
