Sure it hasn't totally escaped the bloat itself, but I have no doubts at all that it could be easily installed on my old thinkpad and run usably with Office 2000. It's got LFN, fairly easy networking, FAT32 (yeah, 'yuck's all round from the hardcore but it does the job), USB, support for a few softwares 95 doesn't like, and hopefully Big Drives compatibility. Hell why not.ĩ8SE just has that nice balance between all the essential functionality without all the straight-out bloat, screwups, and wierdness that seem to have been introduced in ME and beyond.

The vast majority of the storage will be dedicated to media, so if fairly direct equivalents to the programs I use can be found (WIMP shell, office suite comprising WP/SS/DB/DTP, internet & mail, photo/paint, some fairly specialised sound and video convertors, CD burning, palm synch, and a few simple games pretty much covers it - oh yeah and drivers for video/audio/camera/printer/scanner) and the installation isn't too challenging. If not then an U/G to 2000, or, heaven forfend, XP may be in the works. If I gets the extra ~50gb then it still wins. May have to change that opinion dependent on whether I can get it to recognise more than 128gb of my 180gb disc after I put the new ultra-ATA card in to help the mobo along. Must say Win98SE seems about the best for me so far.
