Not that scary.  Win98 has been more stable than Win95 Gold (the original 
version) from Developer Release 1 (which was before Beta 1).  I wouldn't worry 
about installing Win98, unless you've got a slow computer.  I've got a P90 w/ 
24MB RAM and Win98 does OK, but it's not super fast.  It's about as fast as 
Win95 gold.  If you turn off IE4, though, Win98 FLIES!  They've made 
performance improvements, but then they ate up all that new speed w/ IE4. 
 However, Win98 is much faster than 95 as long as you don't have IE4.  Don't 
get me wrong, though:  I love IE4 and wouldn't give it up.

Sincerely,

Bruce
