WinXP icons looks ugly on Win98.

A full slipstreaming is not possible, Windows 98 doesn't support slipstreaming. But, I added (in 2.0) a feature which is called "semi-slipstreming". If you extract SP2.CAB (which contains sipstreamable hot-fixes) from the SP into Win98's setup directory, Win98 will use these newer files during installation.

Hey all,

You know that there is an option for the mouse in Windows XP saying "Snap To" (check box) , Automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box.

I get used with it, and I would like to have it in Windows 98 SE too.

(because I'm using both systems)

So, Does anyone of you know if that is possible?

I've searched the web, but without any luck ... so if any of you know any application that makes it possible ... please tell me about it.

i think if you install logitech mouseware (its free and works with mice other than just logitech ones) you can do that. i remember seeing the snap to option in the mouse control panel. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/download...,contentid=6003 is the download link. it doesn't have any spyware or viruses. i hope this helps.

I still have a 98 machine I use for playing old games.

98 is still useful. Thanks!

Last time I tried to use Windows 98... I installed all my software (granted, that is a lot of software).. the machine started randomly crashing every 1/2 hour :laugh: Kernel32 errors and the like... I went to XP and haven't had any problems since, on that machine or on my newer system.

Link is dead.

Can we not ban trolls who come to this section of the board with no purpose other than to badmouth the designated OS?

Good idea to rephrase that statement.

should be, 'can we ban trolls who come to this section of the board with no purpose other than to badmouth the designated OS?'

My reading of what you wrote was that you want 'Trolls' here dissing the thread.

    • After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
