The time when 98 is just too old...

A few days ago, i came across an announcement from Microsoft that they are dropping support for Windows 98/SE and ME. Why is this so important? well (ehem...) I am using Windows 98 SE for my PC, and it's not because I have a very old rig. The only reason why I haven't taken the XP plunge is because of the bad rep that XP has had ever since it was relased. Issues like numerous buffer overflow flaws and exploits have been scaring the hell out of me. But now that Microsoft has dropped my current OS, then I think this might just be the perfect time for me to take the XP plunge.

XP has many features which were not present in Windows 2000 pro ( one that I can easily install in my PC since I have an original CD here, courtesy of my Uncle), I also chose Win XP becuase i have tried installing games under Windows 2000 pro but they do not seem to jive with each other even some softwares don't like Win 2000 pro.

I do hope that the transition form Win 98 SE to Win XP may not be a living nightmare for me. And (ehem...) I am still very skeptic about Win XPs reliability. But it may be a fun-filled experience for me becuase I haven't really tried to install a new OS like Win XP. So, my fingers are still crossed and I am Wishing for the best.

I'll post my initial experiece about Win XP within the first week of July (hopely!)

Anyways, until then this you me signing off.... (repeat 3x then fade...)
