I'm sure that's the answer. It's just bothersome, because the one time I WANT to see an advertisement, someone is putting advertisements in front of it.

But it also means if my connection is glitchy, I can't buffer the whole thing into memory, meaning that the entire thing is going to be bumpy.

3) To many incompatibility issues with the 'new' drivers for XP and Vista, and that is what you get for having an OS on the archaic BIOS system.

Understood, but Microsoft isn't even offering archival support. If I want to install Windows98SE, it won't send any updates. So all the security holes and flaws that Microsoft plugged in the updates will now be open again.
I'm just cheap, essentially, and I'm not really sure I'd be getting any qualitative improvements. The only the my Win98 computer can't do well is P2P communications (but it does it well enough), and there is absolutey no freeware internet security available for it.
Oh, and for the skeptics, here's a link:
Microsoft Ends Support for Windows 98.

Great find Pan; one can only hope that down here in the bible belt they will show this movie, as there are not so many catholics here...

Yeah. Once bible-belt protestants start hating Catholics, it's only a short ride to realizing the flaws in their own faith. :/
