Icon4 Windows 98 still alive?

I have 2 PC's at home, one is Pentium III with Win98 OS. Just wondering anybody else using 98 too?

If not, which is the most used OS today, XP or Vista? I haven't tried Vista yet, saw it on friends PC once. It looks very good. Can my P3 run Vista?

Its alive? Yes!

Some people at homes still have an old P3 with Windows 98, just like you.
Otherwise even with that hardware most have switched to XP atleast. FYI, official technical support for Windows 98 has been discontinued long time back. It would be wise enough to atleast switch to XP SP3.

XP, I guess. Vista has been criticized a LOT. Those who never even tried Vista also criticized coz of enough criticism that passed through their eyes and ears lol.

I believe once Windows 7 is GA, it would wash off XP and Vista completely once and for all. People HAVE TO move on some day.

As for your last question - In short, No, don't even try Vista on your P3 but move to XP atleast.
