...Is it a completely obsolete and  useless OS now?..or are there still some good things about it?
Thanks
ps:I guess if you had an older SYSTEM,say a P-2 OR 3, would it not run faster with an old OS such as 98? Just curious..Sure, older systems will run better with an older OS, such as Win 98 or Win 98SE.  So, it's still useful to people using older computers.  On the downside, it's no longer supported by Microsoft, older OS are less secure than newer versions of Windows, and less SOFTWARE can be found that supports these older OS, to mention a few points.

Edit: On the other hand, I have a 2003 version of Peachtree accounting which does not play WELL with my Win XP system since updating Internet Explorer to version 7.  Since I still have Win 98SE on this machine in a dual-boot configuration, I could install Peachtree under Win 98SE and run it without problems.I am using w98se not because I like it but because I have to. I need it for an old DOS version to program radio electronics. The electronics are cutting edge made by Yeasu but they never updated their software. I use it on an old laptop with a partitionhed hd
with windows xp pro in the second partition. Need it on a laptop as on occassion need to go to the 14000foot level on Mauna Kea and the 9000 foot level on MAUN Kea to progrram repeaters and controlers for emergency radio net work.
