98 has it's uses, our server runs 98, and longest uptime so far was three months. it only ever goes down when we have a power cut.
i use 2000 on my two main machines. i did try XP on them, and boot times were a lot quicker, but everything just felt too slow. and this machine killed it self in a power cut, XP was totally destroyed. decided to go back to 2000.
I do use XP on an old athlon 650, with only 128 megs of ram. it's usable, but multitasking is a no-no. i sometimes jump online with it, and that's fione, but if i set up an encode (the machines' purpose in life) and then try and go online, it's not pretty!
on an XP2100 i'd reccomend XP i think.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I was a 98 type of guy but, since I've gone to XP... I've never looked back.
Never tried ME but, I haven't herd a lot of good things about it.Don't give in to DVD2ONE, that leads to the dark side. -

Upgrade is the way to go, "ZOOM AHEAD" and I don't think many people would want to keep using WinMe as a piece of crap. -

I've been using WinME for two years with almost no problems. It has been more stable on my big machine than Win98SE was...
I'd still like to migrate to Win2K. -

Win2k gave me a lot of problems, and Win98 gave me more. I only use WinXP Pro now. It's the best OS microsoft has put out to date in my eyes.

The only thing I have to update the OS all the time. I will have to upgrade the version of my NIS and NAV before the installation of Win2k SP4 soon.
