    In the past few weeks, I've seen it twice with Windows XP.

    Go with Linux. It's free, and better.
    Away.

    I duel boot with winxp pro and slackware. So I can use linux all I want and if I want to play some games or code win32api then switch back.

    It's a good way to go also if your unsure about linux.

    MS Visual C++ 6.0 runs on Win98 w/o any issues I've ever had. I'm a fan of both the IDE and the compiler and still use it on my XP box quite frequently. You should be able to get an Academic version for nothing or next to nothing.

    And my personal preference in an OS has quickly become WinXP. Grossly large though the install may be, I find it to be vastly superior in just about every way to any other OS I've ever used. The speed is excellent, issues with crashing/locking have been litterally non-existant, the operation is nice, it's well managed and was easily customized to suite my desires.
