I too used to stay at win98 as much as I can, but a couple of things made me upgrade to win2k.
- fat32 doesnt support files over 2gb. i deal with digital animation and movies, and sometimes i need to make huge uncompressed avi files.
- fat32 doesnt support any HD bigger than 80gb. i bought a 120gb HD after my current 40gb HD craps out. then i realized fdisk having problems with formatting my HD.
it also was a big decision for me because i will then have to get used to the unicode system and be very aware of when windows treats japanese text as unicode and when as s-jis. but after i found out that i can live with it, i decided to upgrade to win2k
but now i have the urge to upgrade to XP because the new adobe products are only XP-compatible…bastards…
so benoit, u r pretty much okay with keeping win98 for now, but be warned that sooner or later when stuff gets phased out and new hardware becoming win98-incompatible u will have to follow what i had to do. but u dont need to worry about it for now of course.
so it ultimately depends on your personal needs, really. maybe benoit will never have to deal with 2GB+ files, or he will never need to buy a HD any bigger than 80GB in his life…

now, can we get back to the original topic?
