    They dropped the price to $189. Which kicks arse IMO because I prefer VMWare myself because it'll handle OSes like Win3.1, FreeBSD, Linux, etc. Jeremy Falcon

    What do you mean? I have all those OSes running on MS Virtual PC. Have you not been able to run them on VPC?

      Win98SE was created to help Win98 users transition to Win2K when it came out. If you look at your system files, you'll notice there are a few that were labeled for Windows 2000. Jeremy Falcon

      Windows 98 had a customer service pack (I recall that some parts of eMbedded Visual Tools said that they worked either on 98+CSP or 98SE, but I never got it to work on 98+CSP). Any system DLLs labelled from Windows 2000 are probably the result of VB Package & Deployment Wizards setups built on Windows 2000. P&DW picks up DLLs from System32 by default, not from the Redist directory, so you can end up shipping mismatched components that break older operating systems. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

          I haven't tried VPC since MS got it. I just went on what their website said. Jeremy Falcon
