- Why exactly? How about just upgrading to a OS that was released in this millennium.. And it does not include IE 6 stuff? - so their browser is not even from this millennium either? What do you consider 10 new hot fixes -- from a OS that was released in 98, the latest update on the win98 download page looks like 7/8/2003 to me? How is that new?? I am curious what you consider New

- Hey, I'm all for this!! I have a store that uses software that requires a hardware key, and it won't work with Windows 2000 or XP. Anything that keeps 98 updated like this, consider me estatic over this!!

- I, for one am thankful. You've just made thin techie's job that much easier. I have several clients who still use Win98SE, and this will save me many headaches. Thank you.

- i agree
98 must be kept alive as long as possible as some ppl can't afford to upgrade to 2000 or xp or upgrade there hardware,some ppl just like the plain old interface
this only works on the se not fe of 98,this is worth using
i'm glad ppl help to keep 98 alive
this pack won't include that,ie 6 might be uncluded one day but right now only ie 5.0 updates are included
98 may be old but it is worth using and is very simple.

Work more easily with multiple windows by arranging them in efficient tiled layouts. Double-click the WindowSizer icon in your system tray to arrange all non-minimized open windows or use the "Tile Last" command to specify exactly how many of your recently used windows to tile. Choose from many default layouts or create your own and set as default. Resizing a window in your arrangement automatically resizes neighboring windows to maintain a tiled layout. Drag and drop tiled windows to swap positions. Use WindowSizer's right-click menu or keyboard shortcuts to manipulate your windows more efficiently and reduce tedious manual resizing and moving of windows. Close all windows in arrangement or on desktop with one command. Bring back the same group of applications or websites anytime by saving your arrangements as ".panes" files. Open several arrangements and manage your virtual desktops with WindowSizer or manage your windows across multiple monitors.
