Years ago there was a product called Geowork Ensemble.
This was back in the 3.1 days. It blew away indows hands down.
Nobody will probably remember it.

I vote for 98 in the poll though.

@Killer525 I dual boot 98 & XP. You dont need two drives but partition one drive into two partitions.
Thats the way I have always done it.
In the beginning there was the command line.

It's apparently still available in a modern incarnation from Breadbox Computer Company.

My backup computer which i will attempt to this has a 80GB IDE hdd and i have another 80GB IDE hdd laying around also a spare 20GB IDE hdd. So i don't have to partition it :thumbsup: I am still worried about the ram limit for 98 and i have very limited knowledge about 98 <_<

I had troubles with 98 and 98SE, but very little trouble with XP. I voted for XP, and Win7. So far I've had no trouble with Win7, and I hope it stays that way.. :blink:
