You want a SEALED RETAIL copy, so that way you have nothing to worry about.......
Sigh, if you expect to pay full price. ($300USD)....
Since you have 98 you ought to be able to upgrade. Findout when the NWO says you should die!

Or something like it....
[link to www.amazon.com]
The amazon.com copy is $99.
I would NEVER buy any of the new Micorosoft activation software used, as once it's installed Microsoft considers it tied to that computer forever...
I hope you have at least 512mb of ram, and a good 10 gigabytes of free space, before you even go down this road.....
You can probably score a Windows XP used computer for cheaper then this endevor.... Findout when the NWO says you should die!

I've bought hardware in the past that said it was only compatiable with XP and up, but got it to work just fine on '98 with the right driver. |

You can get xp pro from tigerdirect..com for 140 and MS is supposed to provide support for pro for 10 years. |

Linux isn't secure enough for a lot of the websites I have to sign into. (for work, banking, etc.) Already tried that since my husband uses Linux on his computer. Quoting: mopar28m

Can this be purchased used? I have to upgrade my software to accomodate my digital camera I'm getting. I'm currently running Win 98SE & I have to upgrade to XP.
Thanks in advance!! Quoting: mopar28m
Yes, you CAN buy used versions of XP, on Craigslist or ebay.
Be careful that it's a REAL version, not a bootleg that can't be registered..
If you need help, I'd be happy to offer advice off this post, but as I'm not a paid member, I can't.

true, you could always use an update enabler...but then, why would you buy a product that you had to use that on? that's my point.....ive got just about every version of windows from 95 on(except vista, ill wait for sp2 or later), and never bought a one of them....suckers buy software, especially "used copies"...lol |

YES. BUY THE UPGRADE / UPDATE EDITION - CHEAPER THAN FULL.
eligable for purchase are all windows versions from 98 and NT on.
If you do an "inplace upgrade", meaning you run xp setup from within 98 Desktop to keep your folders and programs :
You can update directly Win98 - 98SE - ME to XP Home Edition
and
98,NT3.51,NT4 and win2000 directly to XP Professional
if you want to do a clean Install ( booting from XP CD and wipe the drive off all previous os ) you can do that also. :
Early setup phase will tell you at a certain point that you need to change the CD and need to put in your previous 98/ME/NT/2000 CD - that will be checked , you put back in the XP CD and setup will continue. |

emule is slower, more like the old kaaza....though they do offer alot of torrent cookies lately....but, it is pirated material, so you do have to check your bit counts, scan for viruses and such....i havent had a problem with anything ive gotten, but i could be the exception....and, you get emule from download.com...lol gotta love the internet.... |
